 * Yes I did, so am very likely in the wrong forum, sorry. Finding the site quite
   confusing.
 * The only place I have seen “sitename.wordpress.com/wp-admin” is on the dashboard.
   Clicking on it there just brings me back to the dashboard which I can only access
   after clicking on external links.
 * Sorry to be so obtuse!!

 * I am new to Word Press. I created an account via (I think)(?!) a link in someone
   else’s post, which allowed me to create a username & a password. I was then able
   to create posts of which I have done 4 or 5 so far mainly of an “experimental”
   nature. However I find that I cannot “log-in” to my account via any conventional
   means but have to click on a link in my Twitter or FB account to gain access.
   I can then create, edit or delete posts etc.as I wouuld normally expect to. I
   have scanned all the “help” pages I can find without much success other than 
   to come to the conclusion that I have done something very basically (& totally
   naively) wrong.
    Very much appreciate any pointers. Thanks.
