left for your blog.
Incoming Links
Directly to the right of the Recent
Comments section in the Dashboard is
the Incoming Links section, which
lists all the blog-savvy people who
wrote blog posts that link to your
blog. How sad is that Because my
blog is brand new, people havent
discovered it yet, but Im sure as
soon as they do, my Incoming Links
list will start filling up in no
time.
In the meantime, a message in the
Incoming Links section says, This
dashboard widget queries Google Blog
Search so that when another blog
links to your site it will show up
here. It has found no incoming
links. . . yet. Its okay - there is
no rush. The phrase Google
Blog Search is underlined
because its a link; when you click
it, you go to the Google Blog Search
page, which is a search engine for
blogs only.
Your Stuff
In the Your Stuff section of the
Dashboard, you see the following
sections:
✓

to go to a page with options that
let you manage todays posts. This
page contains new or updated posts
youve made during the current day.
✓

here to go to a page with options
that let you manage posts and
updates you made in past days.
