Im about to start my first ever blog using wordpress. I know next to nothing about the basics of using this software as an admin. can anyone point me in the right direction?
Plenty of help from Word Press.org: http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress, and if you can't find it there, just post up here. I got a ton of help on the forum when I started out.
Can smb tell me what is WORDPRESS , what it is used for and how can it help me with startin g my own blog?
@Fredzilla: hmansfield's recommendation is a good starting point, but I would add something: keep it as simple as possible and slowly explore all the options of wordpress by visiting other blogs or playing with your theme. Soon you will see that it's pretty easy and straightforward to use.
