The Dashboard

First, sign in to your blog. On the top right side of your screen you should see "Customize." Click there. Then look to the top right of your screen again and see "Dashboard."

The Dashboard is the area that pops up if you click to find out who is following you, or if you check out someone's comments on your blog.

From the Dashboard you can change your profile, add or change a photo etc. Click whichever link your prefer on the left side of your screen. Gr. 6s -- I suggest that you do not put a full-face close up as your photo. This photo will be the one that shows up under "Followers" on any blog you choose to follow.

Add as many, or as few details as you wish for your profile. Again, I suggest being a bit vague with your information. For example, don't put your full home address -- just list the town, or province.

At the bottom of the dashboard there are some neat links to check out. Blogs of Note is one of my favourites. The brains at Blogger choose a worthy site to highlight every week or so. I've learned a lot by checking out these amazing blogs. Even if you aren't interested in the content, it's neat to see the layouts and possibilities.
