The Blog Starter

I found the information on the step by step guide to be outdated. Wordpress installed the way that was stated, but it looks completely different once installed. It looks so easy to post content and create the site on the guide given in the blog starter, but it looks nothing like it once I tried to actually use the Wordpress software. I have asked if there was a specific step by step guide that was updated and got a reply 4 days later with a plug-in suggestiion and nothing else. I am frustrated that I still am unable to publish my blog because I can't figure out how to set up the page or even add photos. I chose this blogstarter site becasue I am inexperienced. Very dissappointed.
