After you activate WordPress, you'll manage your blog from your WordPress control panel. From these administration pages you can add new posts to your blog, manage links and archives, edit your plug-ins, and more. We've made it easy to access your administration tools from your Web Hosting Control Panel.

Blog Manager
Your Blog Manager contains links to often-used pages in your WordPress control panel as well as additional links you can use to modify certain settings related to your blog, such as your upgrade method. To reach your Blog Manager:

1. Sign in to your Web Hosting Control Panel.
2. Visit the Manage tab.
3. In the first module, click the "Blog Manager" link.
4. On the following page, locate the module that corresponds with the blog you'd like to manage (we'll create one Blog Manager module for each WordPress blog in your site). In this module you'll find a link to your blog; administration pages from which you can add a new post, manage comments, and edit your blog settings; your upgrade method; and recent statistics for your blog.

WordPress Control Panel
We recommend taking advantage of the convenience of Blog Manager to manage your blog, but you can also sign in directly to your WordPress control panel directly anytime. To reach your control panel, just enter http://widgetdesigns.com/wp-admin/ in your web browser, replacing widgetdesigns.com with the path to your WordPress blog, minus the www. If your WordPress blog is located at http://www.widgetdesigns.com/myblog/, for example, you'd manage your blog at http://widgetdesigns.com/myblog/wp-admin/.
