Hayward Pressman I just wanted to take a quick minute and show you how to connect jetpack to a wordpress.com account so there are a lot of Jetpack features that will work without an account but there are several features of Jetpack that you must connect to wordpress.com in order to use so I just want to quickly show you how to do that there’s a few places that WordPress remind you that you need to connect to Jetpack one is here on the dashboard you’ll see this box here that has a Connect jetpack button

also if you go to Jetpack in your left hand navigation you’ll see another connect jetpack button here at the top of this page as well you can click either button and we’ll both take you to the same place

if you’re already logged into work press.com with the account that you want to use you might see a screen that looks something like this so I’ve already logged in as the person that I want to set up jetpack with so all I have to do is click the blue approve button

however there is a sign in as a different user option so if you need to sign into somebody else then go ahead and click sign in as a different user and you’ll be able to do that

you’ll also have the option to create a new account if you don’t have any wordpress.com account yet then go ahead and click the create a new account link and it’ll be pretty easy to set one up and it is also completely free to set up a WordPress., count

because I already have mine set up and I’m already logged in I’m just going to go ahead and click the blue approve button

you’ll see a message here at the top of the screen that says your site is now connected that’s all that you should have to do so you can continue just with a free account for life to go ahead and collect select free because we don’t need any other options at this point to work with jetpack

once you click the free plan you should be redirected back to your WordPress dashboard for your site and you should now be connected to her press.com

you’ll see one of the features that you can use with jetpack that you must be connected to wear press.com in order to use is the site stats and WordPress reminds us here at the top to go ahead and activate that

I would recommend that you activate site stats it’s always good to have a simple stats appearing in your dashboard for you or your users just to get a really quick check on the traffic for your site I do also endorse Google analytics and I highly recommend that you use that as well but a site stats by jetpack is a really good way to just get a quick overview of some of the basic right there in your dashboard

but you’re all connected to jet packs and now you can unlock and use all of jetpacks features there are a couple of pro features and which you will need to upgrade your wordpress.com account in order to use such as some of the backups the spam protection the malware scanning and a few other things but for the most part you can use the most of jetpacks features now that you’re connected to wordpress.com
