Blogger Settings for My Blog

Well now that I have decided on direction I need to set up my settings for the blog. I have just discovered that takes a person down many roads and can get puzzling at times as to what I am doing! Sometimes there is not much information available as to what the choices entail and you have to just jump in with both feet. It is scary! I don't want to make mistakes and have to go back and make changes - I would rather do it right the first time. Have gone down that other path too many times.

So here goes. I went to the settings page for Life Journeys and made my choices.

Page one - Basic settings - fairly straight forward - no hard decisions here.
Same with Publishing and formatting tabs

Comments Tab - Here you decide as to who can comment and how it is shown. I chose to show the comments and allow only registered users to make comments (I did not feel like allowing anonymous users to make visable comments - just a gut feeling)

Also chose to show back links - interested in seeing what other sites link to this blog.

Chose comment moderation and word verification for comments - Would like to see what is being written before publishing on this blog. Do not want to have certain material in my blog. This gives me the choice of what is published.

Archiving and Site Feed pretty straight forward. Site Feed I set at Full

Email and Mobile - I did not do anything with - I will not publish content from these devices.

Permissions Tab - Blog Authors and who can view are pretty straight forward.

Well that takes care of how I set up the settings on this blog. Then I discovered I wanted to make this available for following of this blog. Found out about FeedBurner - this will be the next blog discussion.

If you have comments about how you set up your blog please feel free to comment.
