I signed up for a WordPress.com blog today, I cannot find the Dashboard anywhere. Where is it ?? I’ve looked all over the initial landing page when I sign in, nothing. I looked for the admin area and the admin bar, it’s not there. I tried typing “http://digitalgardenie.wordpress.com/wp-admin” into the browser (Chrome) and it only takes me to the initial sign in landing page, there’s no sign of a Dashboard anywhere. Please help ….. this is driving me nuts !!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The dashboard is indeed at http://digitalgardenie.wordpress.com/wp-admin and you can always get to the dashboard via the grey Admin bar; see your username on the right-hand side? Hover over it and you get a drop down list. Hover over the blog name and you get a range of destinations including teh Dashboard.

Mine is doing the same thing, I’m currently waiting on a reply from staff, from what I understand it’s a new test they’re doing with some new users.

It’s too bad Staff did not post a sticky post at the head of this forum so we Volunteers knew wth was going on. If I had known that then all of those bloggers who are doing all kinds of browser related troubleshooting would have been spared the unnecessary angst, and both they and I would not have wasted our time trying to resolve an issue that was not resolvable through normal means.

Thanks for that link. Three wasted days! I’m so sorry. What can I say? I cannot do anything more than tag the threads for Staff attention and I’ve done that.

Folks, I believe I’ve solved my own problem, and you’re not going to believe this. I was using Google Chrome browser, I tried using Safari and there was the Dashboard. Went back to Chrome and no more dashboard. Now that is weird, why is the Dashboard not appearing when using Chrome ??

Is anyone having an issue on Firefox?

This is just to let you know that when we post to a thread we move the time stamp forward. Staff work their way through support tickets and forum threads tagged for their attention by dealing with those that have the earliest date and timestamps first, then they move forward to deal with those that have the most recent date and time stamps.
