    SettingsThere are a number of options here that are automatically generated for you. We suggest you enter your own Administrator Username and Administrator Password so they're easy for you to remember, and change the Administrator Email to an account you use regularly.
    Warning: You'll need the username and password to log in to your WordPress site.

    Change Website Title to the name of your site, and change Website Tagline to a short statement that describes your site and what it's for. Since search engines use this info, it's important to include words that represent your brand and business.
