    • Admin name: Add new Open blog username ( do not use admin for security purposes)
    • Admin Password: Create a strong password.
    • Admin Email: Enter email address

    Note: Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need these login details to access the admin area of your Openblog blog.

    • Advanced options: Leave it like that, unless you are looking to change the name of your database, or taking an automated backup. Also, please note that taking plenty of backups can utilize a lot of space.
