When you log in for the first time you will want to immediately update your profile. Updating your profile provides the system with additional information it can use in weblog layouts and in keeping your account maintained.

When you initially sign in and update your profile, you should change your password to something easier to remember. You will also want to provide the system with a valid email address and password hint. Without these MT cannot reset your password if you were to forget it.

If you are signing in as the initial user, Melody, you may change the username to one of your liking. Because author data is related to the author by an internal identification number, changing the username will have no effect on any existing relationships.
