Hello Lori Leonard,

Thanks for using our product.
Please find your answers below:
1. Where does a brand new user register then?
It seems like when i click the register, it is redirected to ?view=registration. Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/SXjEvKFVlh78 . But it somehow redirected back to login. Do you have installed any 3rd party components for manage login and registration on your site. There is many possibility that can caused this issue. Can you provide us backend access and ftp access so that we can debug the issue and helps you fix this.

2. From the Administration section as you can see I have a Public Post by (Posted by Kariann Helms) I posted that internally obviously, any public user can comment on this of course, where does a public user start their own post for the first time without needing to answer a post by a moderator Admin person first?
I am sorry but I seem can't understand you well. Do you mean "public user" is a "guest user"? I believe what you meant was, how to set the guest to be able to create a blogpost? You need to allow them to be able to create a blogpost by accessing ACL. You can configure this at Joomla > Components > EasyBlog > ACL > (user group) > Write Entry = Yes.

3. At the top in the SUB line it says (Posted by Kariann Helms on Tuesday, 24 June 2014 in Uncategorized), where are the controls for this "Uncategorized" and why is ith ther and where can we change it?
This "Uncategorized" is a category in your blog. You can manage your categories in Joomla > Components > EasyBlog > Categories. Once you have create a new category, you can select it when you're posting a new blog post. You can select which category do you wish to posted in by clicking this: http://screencast.com/t/ZM8trHVLttEP .

4. We is the alert (email to) for the Moderator/Admin person so thet they get an email everytime a new public post comes in???
In order to moderate blog entry, you need to set ACL for the certain group user which you want to moderate. You can configure it here: Joomla > Components > EasyBlog > ACL > (user group) > Write Entry = Yes and Publish Entry = No. Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/dqjIzYqxf5b . Administrator will receive the notification email by default. You want to configure this, you can access Joomla > Components > EasyBlog > Settings > Notifications > Notify admin on new entries = Yes. If you want to set notification to moderator, you need to put the moderator's email here: http://screencast.com/t/5Tk8QYzpb and set Use Custom Email as Admin Email = Yes.

5. Any other "How To" tips would be much appreciated by you guys if you can comment on anything else that might be really important to know.
