Congratulations of starting your brand new blog!  In no time we'll be posting amazing content, sharing our ideas and connecting with others from around the globe.  To get us started, we'll need some basic working knowledge of the Blogger platform.  To help you along, we've created a set of Worksheets that should clue you into the features and options that Blogger has to offer.  We've even created a set of video tutorials to better help you find the main areas of your blog that you can modify and customize to better reach your intended audience.

Here's the list of videos to get  you started:

As you experiment with your blog, try changing some of the template and layout settings to see what effect it has on the look of your blog.  Try adding in a few important links you think would be helpful and useful such as link back to this blog or to Managebac.  See if you can make a simple "Welcome to My Blog" post with a label or two.  If you find something neat, don't forget to share it with the rest of us!
