Where it says settings and click so you're going to land here right here these are all your settings uh the first thing you do is to add a title for your blog and i've.
Already done that in my last video so click there this was the name i gave my blog less time but i can still go ahead and add more keywords related to my.
Niche for example i can add best blog about blogging so you could either leave the title of your blog short and sweet.
Or you can add additional keywords to improve your ranking in the search engines next thing you need to do is click here on description.
Blogger offers you the opportunity to type 500 words description here so try as much as possible to add as many words as you can to reach up to.
This limit of 500 this description is very important this is actually where you need to add all the keywords.
All the relevant keywords that you think your potential readers are going to be searching for in google because whatever you type here especially the.
Keywords will trigger higher rankings for you in google i've experimented this in my other blog and found out that it works.
So for example you can say um catalyst blogging tutorials is one of the world's number one site for everything related to blogging on this.
Blog we teach you how to create a blog on blogger wordpress and wix as you can notice the keywords here are the name of my blog which is catalyst blogging.

That right there in your description so that in the future it's going to trigger your blog to show.Up whenever someone types the name of your blog right and uh this is one keyword right here catalyst blogging tutorials this is another keyword here blogging.
Another keyword here is blog another keyword here is create a blog on blogger it's another keyword on wordpress it's another keyword.
And wix is another keyword so just make it natural and another thing you can do is you go to free tools like wordtracker.com or go to google's own keyword planner.
Tool and do some research some keyword research bring those keywords and add them here it's very important to do that.
The next setting is blog language and it's already in english we leave it as english and obviously if you want to change it you just click here on.
English and you can select from all these languages the next section here is adult content so you leave them unchecked do not check them because you're not creating.
An adult site right the next setting on on the list is google analytics property id in a future tutorial i'll show you how to.
Connect your google analytics id right here on blogger and that's for this one let's keep it for now it's not very important in a future video i'll show.
You how to do that
And the next one is the favicon and favicon is extremely important in fact it's one of the first things you should do.And that is why i decided to come to the settings to have all these set up first because if you delay on choosing a favicon then you're going to be stuck with the.
Default google blogger favicon for life if you don't have a logo or favicon you can come down here on fiverr and search for.
Logo and favicon and hit search and you have literally thousands of designers that can design a logo and favicon for you for your.
Site for very cheap most of them can do it for just five dollars some of them for ten dollars uh if you have not yet signed up on fiverr click the first link in the description.
Box below and you'll be taken here to fiverr you create an account and order for a logo favicon to use on your new blogger blog if you use my link.
You're going to get 20 off your first purchase let's assume you already have a logo right the dimension of the favicon must be a square for example.
300 pixels by 300 pixels or 450 pixels by 450 pixels just ensure that the favicon image is a square image if not it's not going to be accepted.
So just go ahead and click on favicon then right here click on choose file go to where you have saved your file your favicon and click then.
Hit on save click it again just to be sure then go ahead and exit out of this window all right so we've taken care of the.
Favicon if you go to your site right now let's just scroll down here and click on this view blog you'd notice that right here.
Is the favicon we've just added to our site right here don't worry about all these things here the title and the description being too bulky or voluminous in your blog layouts you can.
Actually hide title this long title and also hide this description so that they don't show up on your site and i'll show you how to do that.
In later tutorials all right let's exit out of here and continue with our setting so we're done with favicon scroll down here this privacy.
It says visible to search engines please make sure you do not tamper with this it's already activated by default do not switch this button off if you.
Switch it off your blog will not be shown on google or bing or any other search engines under publishing you have your blog address.
Which is our free blog the one that ends with blogspot.com then down here you have custom domain this is for if you want to later convert your blog.
To a custom domain if you want to later convert your free domain which is this one here catalyst blogging tutorials.blogspot.com to something like.
Catalystbloggingtutorials.com without the dot blog spot look out for my future tutorials i'll show you how to purchase a domain name and link it.
Right here under the blogger custom domain function we scroll down and the next on our list is https it's already.
Activated by default if you're using blogger's free dot blogspot domain extension you're automatically going to have https secure security certificate installed by.
Default you don't need to worry about this as long as you're using.blogspot.com we'll scroll down further okay blog admins and authors so i've already.
Set the blog admin as my name and uh pending author invites in the future you can invite other writers to publish.
Post on your blog and you can invite them probably through email right we don't need this for now scroll down under comments.
If you click here under comments you have all of these options for the location of your comments box if you don't want comments at all on.
Your entire site you can click on hide if you'd like your comments to appear as a pop-up window you choose this as a full page this.
Or embedded personally i think embedded is the best so leave it at embedded save that and under who can comment you click so the options here are anyone including anonymous.
This is not a very good idea do not select this one because you're just going to be inviting a lot of spammers and bots to come and terrorize your blog.
With a lot of stupid comments users with google accounts here and only members of this blog i think users with google accounts is the best option then under comment.
