Once you have installed the theme, you’ll want to select the Widgets which are found under the Appearance box. The ones I recommed installing include: Archives, which will list your posts by month, Tag Clouds, which are your keywords and act as a method for readers to find every post you’ve made pertaining to that specific word or phrase and at least three RSS (Real Simple Syndication), which will provide content into your blog from other sites which pertaining to your topic. You’ll want to track the ranking of your blog and the best way to do so is to install the Alexa toolbar. It will show you when your blog is brand new, there is no ranking. The more often you add to your blog, the faster your ranking will improve. When your blog is under a million it will be in the top 1 1/100th of all websites. When you follow these directions, you will be able to achieve these rankings within four to six weeks. Your Dashboard is where you’ll find every detail of how to enhance and control how your blog will appear. Take the time to become familiar with all of the areas: Posts, Media, Links, Pages, Comments, Appearance, Plugins, Users, Tools and Settings. When you enter your first post, list as many Categories as you can think of that will pertain to your blog, You’ll be able to add more later, but these will serve as your keywords and will allow those searching for your Categories to discover your blog. Most people add posts to their blogs weekly, others on a daily basis. It is truly up to you. The more often you add posts, the higher your ranking will end up being.
