 * I have what could be the dumbest question to put on here, but I’m stuck.
 * I’m a long-term user over at wordpress.com, but recently set up a self-hosted
   site using wordpress.org and put in place a (very!) basic holding page until 
   I had time to develop the site properly. That time has come.
 * But for the life of me I can’t remember how to log in to my dashboard to make
   any changes. And it’s not that I’ve forgotten my username or password – I simply
   can’t get to the page where I need to input them! And I feel very, very stupid.
 * I’ve tried [domain].com/login
    [domain].com/admin [domain.com/[username]
 * …and various other possibilities.
 * Can anyone help out a poor lost soul?
 * Trevor

 * Try `http://your-wordpress-URL/wp-admin/` and see if that prompts you for a user
   ID and password.

 * Yay! That’s the chap.
 * Thank you so much for rescuing me.
 * (Note to self: write it down somewhere.)
