Building a Blog: How to Configure Writing Settings

The “Writing Tab” is the next one we will work on. Not much on this page that needs adjusted, we will move down to the “Update Services” section.

This tells you which services the blog is “pinging” (notifying) every time you make a post.

Your screen probably looks like this.

This indicates that only one news service is being notified. You want WordPress to notify all the major ones each time you publish a new post!

Because copying and pasting from one site to another often includes hidden information we are going to follow a process to remove any hidden coding from the following list.

1. Copy and paste the following list into a plain text editor such as Notepad (NotePad is found in the programs on your computer. Often it is listed under Assessories.)
