Now you're ready to begin registering with Wordpress.com to set up your blog. The next pages are the step-by-step instructions and screens that appear as you register and create your blog through Wordpress.

Most of the steps that follow can be done at any time after your blog is actually created. Wordpress has simplified the process so you can begin designing and creating the blog right away. You may choose to do any of them now as you proceed through the registration process or later once the blog is created.
