Changing Your Password
Right after your blog is created you will receive an email with your log in Username and Password.
Your log in name is the always your blog name. The part of the URI after www.ratchatter.com/blogs/.
Your initial password is randomly generated by the processes involved in creating your blog. It is generally a very good password, but will also typically be one that is not the easiest to remember. Although it is not a necessity, you can change your password to something you prefer quite easily.
Once you have logged into your blog’s dashboard; in the top left corner of your screen you should see some links (for example: Settings, Plugins, Users).
Click on the Users link. This will take you to a page of the users on your blog. Generally speaking this will just be yourself.
Now, click on either your “Username” on the left side of the screen, or click on the “Your Profile” link (also on the left side of the screen, just under the standard Dashboard menu choices).
You will now see the “Your Profile and Personal Options” page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see two boxes for you to enter your “New Password”, if you wish to change your current password.
There is a “Password Strength” measure to provide you with an idea of how good or bad you new password is considered. This meter will not affect your choice, it is only provided as a suggestive tool.
Your new password must be at least four (4) characters long, and will be effective as soon as you click on the Update Profile button at the bottom of the page.
