When you do Wordpress for the first time:
If you do not have a WordPress account, you need to set one up before you can post.
How to set up a WordPress account
You received an invite from jewishartsalon@gmail to be a “contributor”. Open that email.
Before you click on “accept invitation” first go to wordpress.com
Click on “create a website” (even though you have no intention to create a website)
At bottom right: click on :”sign up for just a username:”
Fill out your email address and create a username and a password. Make sure to save these somewhere because you will need these every time you create a post.
You will land on a WordPress page. Top right of page: Click on the round icon (between the pencil icon and the bell icon)
You will be asked to create a profile: First name, last name, public display name.
Click on “Save profile”
THEN go back to the invite email from jewishartsalon and click on ‘Accept”.
To create a post: 2 step process
STEP 1 – TEXT
