Can I change the url of my blog?
Yep, but be warned, once you change it, you give up possession of the old one. To change it click on Blog Settings" in your blog dropdown menu. When that opens, change the information in the “Web Address” field. Be sure to click “Save” at the bottom of the page before proceeding.

How do I change my blog title or description?
You can change your blog name by accessing the Blog Settings page. Enter your new information in the "Title" field or “Description” field. Click “Save” on the bottom of the page in order to activate the changes.

What is a favicon and how do I add one?
A favicon is a small, personalized icon that is associated with your blog, and is seen in the address bar of your web browser. To set your favicon access the Blog Settings page through your blog dropdown menu. Once there click the “Browse…” button in the favicon section. Select your image from your hard drive, and be sure click “Save” at the bottom of the Blog Settings Page.

What is an icon and how do I add one?
An icon is the image that shows up in our OnSugar listings. You can add a blog icon on the "Blog Settings” page. To do so, click the “Browse…” button in the Icon section. Select your image from your hard drive, and then click “Save” at the bottom of the Blog Settings Page.

What is the RSS View setting?
The RSS View setting allows you to determine whether your RSS feed shows full posts or teaser posts. The teaser posts only work if there is a page break in your post.

What is a Category?
By selecting a blog category you will make it easier for others to find your blog. You can check out other people's blogs in the "Explore" tab on your OnSugar homepage.

What does Feature mean?
If you choose to keep your blog featured, it will show up in our explore page and homepage. If you do not feature your blog, it will not show up in these directories. Additionally, a checked Feature box means that we have permission to highlight your posts on the PopSugar Network, and on our official blog.

How do I change my time zone?
You can change your time zone by picking the location you are in in the dropdown menu near the bottom of the blog settings page. If your city is not listed, select one that is in your same time zone. The dates on your blog will automatically reflect your new time zone.

Can I change how many posts show up on each page?
In your blog settings, you can choose, 1, 5, 10, or 25 posts per page.

Hey..I originally uploaded an image to be used for my favicon that I don't really want anymore.
How can I change it back to the regular OnSugar favicon (star thing)? I only see option to add another original image which I don't have. thanks!

hi there - you can download it again and reupload it, we don't have a "revert" sort of feature on this. you can find it here - http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/168/1688650/20_2009/9c60c5bbfb1c3231... - hope that helps.

also, if your favicon doesn't change right away, go to http://YOURSITE.onsugar.com/favicon.ico (obviously change yoursite to the site name you've created)

Hi! I'm really new to this and I wanted to change my 'name' in the 'site settings' tab.. the default name is my username (snice) so I changed it to complement my future content of my onSugar blog.. I also tried typing in some stuff for the 'About' box and tried to change my 'Web Address' too..
afterwards, i clicked 'Save' but this message kept on appearing above (I tried to do the process a lot of times already): "You are allowed 10 OnSugar sites, please email help@onsugar.com if you need assistance." Sad
so my onSugar title/name is still the same when i refresh my blog.. does this mean that i have to change my username? so the name change would work for my blog? thanks for your time.. Smiling

is it possible to change my current username to my real name on my page just below my userpic?

Sun, 10/18/2009 - 11:19pm

@promise - each theme is different some have that built in while others do not - you will need to copy the theme and edit it out, or use a different theme.

@popsyche - email help@onsugar.com to change your username
