Welcome back! Let's take a look at the settings basic tab for your new blog. You can arrive there easily by clicking on the settings link on your blog dashboard that is associated with your new one (you can have more than one!).

One inside settings, make sure that you are in Basics (the link can be selected by the sub-menu on the top of your screen). Here you can:

1. Change the name of your blog and it's description (Important keywords are used in these two places - use the best key words to describe your content!)


2. Add to Blogger's listings (Yes, do it)
The other options don't mean a heck of a lot as far as monetizing your blog, so you can feel free to experiment with them.




Now click on the Publishing tab at the top.

Here you can change the URL (the address of your blog on the net) of your website or switch to a custom domain (if you have rented your own, like www.monthly-check.biz). No need to do either right now. But there is something very important to do here for your blog's awareness to the world:
Ensure that 'yes' has been selected for pings. This feature will 'ping' or notify weblogs.com whenever you have updated your blog with a new post. Many services use weblogs for awareness. Essential stuff!
