I have set up writefreely as a multi-user instance.  
I have created an account and blog.  
How do I become admin?  
How do I moderate other users?

The first user created is always the admin. As for moderating users, head to the Admin Dashboard by selecting it from your user menu, then click “Users” at the top.
