The first thing you want to make sure of when using MyBlogLog is to fill out your profile completely especially with a picture or avatar. This picture or avatar will show up on any blog that you visit and will start to brand you or your business.

Take the time to add the services you already use like You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, and many more. Integrating these will be helpful when you are back checking yourself. Something that will be addressed in a future post under using MyBlogLog for research.

Now how much contact information you decide to make available is a personal choice and each of those items can be displayed to everyone, just your contacts or nobody.

One of the things I do like to set is to auto join communities. Mine is set to 10 visits so if you are a member and I visit your blog 10 times then MyBlogLog will automatically add me to your community. This will become very important when we discuss using this for research.

Fill out your bio and again you can decide who it will be displayed to.

Add in your blog/s. It is a relatively simple process. Next time we will discuss setting up the tracking and adding widgets to your blog but if you have never used MyBlogLog this is enough for one post.

The more information and the more personal you make your page the better it will perform for you. This is about networking with others and building a tribe that wants your information.

Doing this properly does take a bit of time and effort but it will pay off to do it right the first time.

Your comments keep this series going so let me know what you think about the information and if you have anything you have done that would help others or an item that I skipped in this process.
