Periodically, I create new blog on Blogger. Once, I was tired to recollect, what exactly is necessary for me to do in the new blog, and I had made this list . It will be useful for you too, that’s why just use it. 
0) Create new email address for creation of a new account in Google Adsense - in order to prevent blocking of all other blogs if something will go wrong.
0-1) Register new blog on www.Blogger.com
During this do not forget:
- turn off comments
- include correct language (English instead of Albanian)
- include an option “Show labels”
- change a template on stretched (for example, Minima Stretch), instead of ugly default
- remove the top blogger toolbar. Here is the code to put down in a pattern
<style> < type=”‘text/css’”> #navbar-iframe {height:0px;visibility:hidden;display:none;} < /style >
- make a photo with email address - to prevent anybody to harvest email for spam purposes. Those to whom it is necessary, will type hands - it is checked up :).
- include an option “Show Google News” that the relevant content was already tightened automatically.
1) Register new account on Feedburner for manipulation of RSS feed .
Include options:
- Publicize: ChicletChooser - choice of a kind of the button
- Publicize: PingShot - service of notices corresponding (many! For time) services collecting RSS content .
- Analyze: Site Stats. So, that was for emergency - actually more correct stats is below.
1a) Post a pair messages on blog - for feedburner has already started to work and move it to weights.
1b) Go on Technorati and make blog claim - to declare the world, that new blog is created.
2) Register new account on AddThis. It is a universal button of addition of bookmarks.
3) Add Adsense blog to template.
4) Register new account on Statcounter or GoStats - these are an excellent service of statistics gathering.
5) Register new account on Hittail - service of gathering of keyword inquiries on which your visitors are came.
6) Sign in by means of Google Reader on your own feed, and actively do “STAR und SHARE” - that links on your favourite blog were left on a web-page of this google reader that is very good.
7) Add blog to Blogcatalog (PR7).
8 ) Add blog to DMOZ - I recommend it very much. Your blog will have a big bonus in Google SERP.
9) Put down some links from your high PR resources.
10) Create Squidoo Lens on Squidoo.
11) Tell Stumbleupon that “I Like It” and describe it, generously I use tags and keys.
12) Periodically submit articles on Digg, Netscape and other.
13) Register new account on ClickTale and look video on what people actively click and what you need to correct.
14) Don’t forget to look on new available offers on CPA or other affiliate programs (the item is added just, in case of advertising purposes of you blog creation)

You might be best off to consider using GoStats for your web stats. You will not have to worry about data limits since GoStats retains all your stats. (unlike others which chomp off at a given number)
