Inexperience Takes A Toll

I am utterly new at this endeavor, so I will make mistakes. Three I already see:

1) I have been editing and re-editing the first post, which leaves the archive useless.
I do not know if that will prove to be a problem, but it may.

2) I have no clear understanding of what happens when someone subscribes. If the subscription is for email, that might be one set of problems; if it involves an RSS feed, that is another set. SOLUTION: I am trying out a subscription through google reader. I am not fond of it, so far, since it shows the blog with an extra item, and I cannot tell why the extra article. Also, I am unsure what the reader DOES when something changes - does it somehow tell me?

3) Lack of planning is a problem, too: I want the first post to be always on top, but I have no clue how to arrange that. Newer always goes to the top, and that means follow-up posts come before that which they follow up. SOLUTION: assign a future date to that post, and it will be on top until the assigned date.

To get the newer blog on top you have to click on customize after you sign on. After this you get to a screen that lets you change the screen element. Then you click on the blog archive box. By doing this you get a new window that lets you change how the page is set up. You need to uncheck the box that says show the oldest posts first.

As for the rest I'm unsure about. I myself just started using this site for an at home business that I recently satrted working with where we post blogs on this site complete with a link on it that people can check for a sponsor product. Due to this reason I'm unsure if I were to become a subscriber to this page if it would show up on my business page and I would like to keep them separate so for now I won't subscribe officially but I will continue to check for new posts just like I do the team page.
