Taglines

Most of the templates have a ‘tagline’ under the blog title.  Check out the tagline on the class blog.  You can change your tagline by going into ‘options’.

Widgets

Use widgets in your sidebar to embed a whole range of things including a search box and calendar and meta.  To get  in your sidebar, go to presentation and click on widgets.  Scroll down and drag the widgets you want into the sidebar.

Categories

This allows you to file information using a categorie.  When you are writing a post, look on the right side of the draft page.  You can add your own categories and tick the ones that relate to your post.
