    Is there anything anywhere that has step-by-step instructions for a beginner? A lot of this information is way over my head.

    Perhaps these will help
    (1) There are 4 beginner's tubetorials here - introduction, posting, editing, presentation.
    (2) WordPress.com features page is very useful too.
    (4) This is the link to the FAQs blog and there's a search box you can use there.
    (5) The forum search box is also a treasure trove full of information and it's going to become your friend in no time at all. ;)
    (6) Please read me first before posting is a sticky at the head of the forum that clearly outlines the comparison of wordpress.com and wordpress.org services.
    (7) The tags page will help you find others blogging on the same subjects and using the same category tags. The "tag surfer" and "my comments" tabs on your dashboard will also help you locate bloggers with similar interests.
    (8) And for tips and tricks pertaining to how to promote your blog be sure to visit here.

    Another "thank you" note for Timethief. I've bookmarked this page in anticipation of a fun couple of weeks of pretending to be a coder.
