This video goes through some of the important basics as you get started with WordPress – using your WordPress dashboard, launching your site and sharing the correct link.
You MUST launch your site before anyone can view it. Don’t worry about doing this when your “site isn’t ready”. It will take a few weeks for the site to appear in search engines, so don’t worry. If you are concerned, feel free to put an “under construction” note on your home page.
A key to sharing the correct link is that your admin link is a lot longer than your site link. Your view link should be the nameofyoursite then wordpress.com
