Enter http://wordpress.com into your browser, and go through this 5-step process to set up your account.
Step 1 of 5 to set up your WordPress account:
For your website address use your last name and the word "portfolio" — for example, smithportfolio. Note that your website address is what you will be giving out to people — in this case, the website would be http://smithportfolio.wordpress.com
Step 2 of 5:
Step 3 of 5:
Go for everything Basic/FREE! (Click on "No Thanks.")
Step 4 of 5:
Choose any theme — it doesn't matter which theme you choose because you are going to change your theme as soon as your website is set up.
Step 5 of 5:
Choose the plan, "Free for Life."
Your account and website should be set up! Now you have to activate your account:
Go to your email and look for the activation email from WordPress: http://YOURACCOUNTNAME.wordpress.com/wp-admin
Note: You need to replace "YOURACCOUNTNAME" in the URL with your actual account name, for example: http://smithportfolio.wordpress.com/wp-admin
The theme determines the organization and look and feel of your ePortfolio. Everyone will start out using theIllustratr theme. [You will have the option of selecting a different theme later (see Switch Your Theme). If you choose one that supports portfolios, your content will be reformatted without a lot of work on your part.]
