I love the suggestions to add on to my blog for better operations. However, I was having a really hard time navigating and for some reason logging in. I think with more practice I will work out the kinks. Overall it is user friendly even for a newbie like myself.

The interface between wordpress and bluehost is terrible. Wordpress wants me to login with bluehost's email address for me instead of my own. I hate this and wish I could get my money back.

I log into bluehost and then it wants me to login to wordpress. I don't understand and I have not found a chat box to ask questions. Website explainations sound easy however the screens don't match up.
