General Settings

Most of the options are pretty self explanatory but I will go over them anyway in case anyone gets confused.

• Blog Title – This will be the main header for your blog and should be a couple words that either brands your site or shortly describes it.
• Tagline – This is the line of text that will appear just under your blogs title.  You can use this in many ways.  It could be a description of your blog if you decided to use the title for branding.
• WordPress Address (URL) – This is your domain of your blog.  Setting this will make your “Home’ page go to your domain and as well as clicking on your blog title
• Blog Address (URL) – Set this to a different URL if you want your blog homepage to be different from where you installed your WordPress. That is if you want your homepage to be www.example.com instead of www.example.com/blog/
• E-Mail Address - This is used for admin purposes as stated.
• Membership – You can toggle this option if you would like to allow anyone to register on your blog.  Not recommended.
• New User Default Role – This is the default permission that will be granted for registered users.
• Timezone – What time zone are you in?
• Date Format – The format in which you want the dates to appear on your posts.
• Time Format – The format in which you want the time to appear on your posts.
• Week Starts On - The day in which you want the day of the week to start on for your blog.

There you have it!  Simple enough.
