I need help turning a fresh WordPress install into a clean, fast‐loading personal blog where I’ll mainly publish text-based articles. The core features I’m after are: • A modern, lightweight theme (responsive, accessible, SEO-ready). • An intuitive post editor setup geared toward long-form writing. • Comment functionality switched on and styled so that discussions are easy to follow (spam protection included). • Basic pages—About, Contact, and an archive—created and linked in the menu. • Clear instructions so I can add new posts, moderate comments, and tweak layouts on my own. If plugins or custom CSS are needed, just keep the stack lean and well-documented. Once everything is in place and tested, hand off the admin credentials and any assets you used so I can dive straight into writing.
