Can’t Figure out Account with Install

    Hi,
    I created an account on wordpress.com. I realize that I needed to use wordpress.org instead so I can host the blog on my server. I realize that I can transfer ownership of the blog name to a new account that I can make, but HOW do I create a wordpress.org account? I was able to install wordpress on my server with a coupla click install, and it’s asking for my login. I can’t create a wordpress.org account, so how do I log in?

    Thanks for interpreting this newbie question!

    WordPress.ORG simply distributes and supports the wordpress software for self-hosted blogs. It is entirely separate from your blog; not connected in any way.

    During the install process, you should have been provided with a username and password for your new blog. You have to log into that new blog separately.

    The login will be something like this example.

    http://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php
