Lesson 5: Adjust the Blog Formatting Settings

Format settings are concerned with how attributes of blog posts are formatted.  There are a couple of changes that should be made to optimize the look of your Welcome page.

1. Under the "Settings" tab, select "Formatting".
   
   
   
   
   Set the "Show at most" setting to between "3" and "5" posts.  The more posts that are displayed, the longer your welcome page will become.  You will need to strike a balance between look of the welcome page against ensuring that posts remain visible for a period of time that is long enough to allow most regular visitors to read blog posts.
   
   Ensure that you set the "Time Zone" to the correct value.
   
   
2. Make any other formatting changes that you think are appropriate.
   
   
3. Ensure that you save the settings.
