In this article, you will learn how to use Jetpack’s social media functionality to augment your Wordpress site. Depending on where you get your copy of WordPress, Jetpack might be a part of the installation – or not. Here you can take a look at setting up your installation if Jetpack is not included.
To get started, go to Jetpack.com. As you can see, there are two options, the free install or pricing. In this tutorial you'll see the free installation.
When you click on the Install Free button, the screen above appears. Enter the full URL of your WordPress site. When you do, the blue Start Installation button appears. Click on it to begin installing Jetpack.
