Finding the Dashboard is easy. There should be a big Dashboard button at the upper right. This is your control panel of your site. There is also a search function by that, if you can't find a feature.

What exactly do you mean by creating the URL or site address? It sounds like you are referring to the domain name, which you get from your hosting service.

I mean that like as if we make a wordpress blog then after registration we got a LOgin and after login we set our url or site address and can view it that what is posted or not posted on blog..Even if we search our wordpress blog on google it shows a result.So is there any method in concrete5 like wordpress that to make a blog or create a URL and after create can we search & find it on google.

I create a url or site address in concrete5 after login but when i search it on google it shows no result.

In a simple manner i am asking to you that how can we make a blog or create and find url on concrete5..? I am unable to make a site/blog on concrete5 ONLINE ..and what should be the site URL of concrete5 Blog.

I want to know one important thing is that what is difference between concrete5 and wordpress.

I think I understand the confusion here, I think you are comparing concrete5 tohttp://wordpress.COM, which is a HOSTED blog solution. Wordpress offers a service where they handle everything (you don't have to install it, etc), and you end up with a free blog and a URL for it.

Concrete5 on the other hand is a content management system designed to be downloaded and installed on your OWN hosting/server. The trial on concrete5.org is just for you to test it out without having to worry about installing it, it's not for actually running a blog, it's not a free blog system. To run a blog with concrete5 you would organise some hosting and a domain name and install concrete5 to it. The good thing is, many hosts have 'one-click' automatic installs of concrete5, which makes it very easy to get things running.

But concrete5.org doesn't offer free blogs like wordpress.com... it's more like wordpress.ORG, which is more focussed on the software, making it available for download, providing technical information, etc.

The difference in functionality: Wordpress is rigid, there are not a lot of options to customize it. Concrete5 is flexible, allowing customizations to be made easily if you have the know how required (PHP, Java, etc.).

Often people start with Wordpress because they think, "Easier is better." However, they eventually want to do something that Wordpress won't allow. So they come to C5.
