WordPress will send you to a “Welcome back” page. Since you are automatically a member of the McDaniel Community site, WordPress invites you to add another site to your account.

4. Type in a Site Name and Site Title. For example,
Site Name: mygreatsite (lowercase—appears in your url as blog.mcdaniel.edu/mygreatsite)
Site Title: My Great Site (appears on your blog or site pages)

You can also choose whether your site is visible in search engines such as Google.

5. Click the Create Site button when finished.
