Get to Your WordPress Blog’s Dashboard Quick

Students in my BSMRCCE class just started new blogs on WordPress.com. This post shows them how to get to their dashboards without going to the WordPress site first.

If you want a quick way to get to your blog’s dashboard without logging into WordPress.com first:

• Visit your blog’s home page.
• In your browser’s address bar, add “/wp-admin” (without the quotes) to your home page’s address.
• Press enter.
• A login screen will appear. Use your WordPress username and password.
• Your blog’s dashboard appears.

So, if your blog’s address is bsmrcce.wordpress.com, visit bsmrcce.wordpress.com/wp-admin and the login screen will appear.

Let me know if you have any trouble!
