Free Small Business Web Site 07 - Set It Up

There are some things that we’ll set up and never touch again, to begin with. These are all located over to the right in the “Settings” tab. When you click on that, it takes you to the “General” tab. Here, you want to change the Blog Title and the tagline to something that works with your keywords. You probably want those keywords in there some place, if there’s room and it doesn’t look stupid. Also, change the timezone to one that’s appropriate.

Now, let’s talk about the “Discussion” tab. Most of the time, having a nice discussion is a great thing, but this tab is where allow people to leave comments on your site. At this point, I’m going to say that you probably don’t want people doing that, so I’d say that you should turn them off. Go down the list of checkboxes here and set things the way you want them to be. You and I can have a discussion about the benefits and liabilities of allowing commnets, but not now.
