Some Love for Fellow Blogger Users

I know us 'Blogger Users' lie somewhere on the outside of the blogging community with Wordpress dominating the blogging platform market. I will admit I have not fully explored blogger and I am a user of both platforms but great things still exist for those on blogger. Kip at wowimo will be posting 10 (+1) tips introducing people to the basics (and not so basics) of blogger. It will be a great set of posts to watch as blogger will be a huge driving force behind blogging groth because of its ease of use and drag and drop capabilities.

Here is a list of topics that will be covered by series of posts called 10 steps of blogger setup:

1. Blogger Settings - which do you select and what do they mean?
