I set-up your blog today. Seemed pretty straightforward. Made your home-directory (subdomain) your publishing directory, and published a test-post there:

See your PM for log-in info.

Feel free to modify things as you see fit. I gave you permissions to do everything (except administer). See attached graphic. Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. MTOS v4.1 is as good as it gets. And blogging on the VPS is so much better than it ever was on Shared hosting

I'm kinda jealous, cuz you're starting out where it took me 5 years to get to. (MTOS on a VPS.)

This is a first for me .. setting up a blog for someone else, besides myself. Multi-blogging is one of the big (licensing) features associated with MTOS. Before MTOS, the free "Personal" license only allowed 1 blog per installation, and limited users to 3 (I think).

I see you got it working. Cool.

I figured out today how/where to add Google ads:

http://mt4.radified.com/

Not as intuitive as I found MT 3.35. Now they have a million different templates, and not all of them would display the ads. More complex, but (in the end) far more configurable. (Or I can give you the names of the two templates I edited.)

So if you start posting many entries, lemme know and I will code in your ads for you.

Here is something you might find interesting:

.. in case you ever wanna personalize the design/style of your blog.

I wanna darken mine, but the dark styles they offer don't quite cut it.
