New Person Set Up Questions
-
What do I need to do to send an email to my blog and have it load daily and also will it send a notification to those who have accepted my site that a new one is available? Also, how do I change the picture on my blog or where do I go to find that info. I am a bit confused on the email info. I do use a Gmail account. Do I set up something different for my blog so that I do not risk my email going to the world? I do want to create a site that is visible to more than the private setting but do not want to expose my email address.
Thanks a bunch, danThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
