BlogPress 101

As we go to the next item in the settings you will find the "Writing Settings". It would be advisable to setup the “Post via e-mail” options so you can get your e-mail messages if you plan to get them through your server. If you don’t want to use your server you don’t really need to set them up at this time. There are widgets that can be used to send and receive the e-mails. On the Writing Settings there is also an area you can use for Update Services. The Update Services are tools you can use to let other people know you’ve updated your blog. Without this no one would know you updated it and it would just be dead words on an unknown page. Some free web hosts have disabled your ability to alert update services. The rest of the “Settings” I wouldn’t worry about at this time. There are a lot of things that you can do in it to customize your blog page. So you might want to look through all of the settings to see if there is something you want to change.  Just remember to look at your blog to see what they did to it for each item you change.  If you do a lot of changes at one time and don’t look at it then you risk not being able to find how to undo one of them.
