# How to Add a Blog

To add a blog:

1. Choose File > New Blog… to open the MarsEdit Quick Start window.
2. Enter the name of your blog and its home page URL. Then click the Continue button.

MarsEdit will try to automatically detect the settings for your blog. If it can’t, it will offer to open the settings window for your blog, where you can complete the configuration manually.

Refer to the Manual Configuration page for instructions on determining the API Endpoint URL and Blog ID for your blog.

Even if you don’t have to configure your blog manually, you may want to edit the settings for your blog to configure warnings, default post settings, and other blog-specific preferences.
