After choosing the right environment and installing Friendica, you need to do some configuration. You need to put more effort into this than somebody on a private server for the simple reason that other people are using your site. The options described in this section are available in your admin menu's ``Site`` panel and are very easy to configure with the following information on their purposes.
1. _Site Name_: Your front page will, by default, pronounce "Welcome To $SiteName" - where $SiteName is the value you put in this field. If you are a public server, this will also be your site name as listed in the public server directory.
1. _Site Name_: Your front page will, by default, pronounce "Welcome To $SiteName" - where $SiteName is the value you put in this field. If you are a public server, this will also be your site name as listed in the public server directory. This is also starting to be used in various connectors. For example, if you cross post to the Libertree network, your post will contain "Posted from $SiteName".
2. _Banner/Logo_: This is actually a HTML box where you can put anything at all. You would normally want a logo and your site name in this box, but you can include any arbitrary HTML you want. Bear in mind that each theme will apply it's own style sheet to this entry and it can appear very different in each. For instance, the Dispy themes have very large, left-aligned text here. By contrast Diabook has very small centre-aligned text. Instead of linking to friendica.com (default), you can link your logo to your home address. If you allow both SSL and non-SSL traffic, use "/" for the home link to avoid switching scheme.
