If you expand the WordPress settings menu. The first thing you will see under General Settings is your "Site Title" and "Tagline". Make sure these titles match your website. By default, WordPress includes “just another WordPress site” as your site’s tagline. You will want to update this tagline to be descriptive of your site, because the "Site Tagline" also shows up in the Google search results.
For your Website address or URL, you can change the URL address if you want your Website to be different from the directory where you installed WordPress. In most cases, it is best to leave these two URLs as the default ones.
This is used for Administration purposes, such as new user notification. To change the WordPress website email address, go to Settings » General and change the ‘Email Address option.
With WordPress, you can allow anyone to register with your website. This is a good feature, especially if you are running a membership site. The New User Default Role is by default set to subscriber.

WordPress "Post via Email" settings allow you to email to your site with post content. To use this, you will need to set up a secret e-mail account with a POP3 access, and any mail received at this address will be posted. For this reason, it’s a good idea to keep this address secret.
The last section is for update services. When you publish a new post, WordPress will automatically notify the update services listed here. For more information, check out the Update Services link in this section.
This screen contains the settings that affect the display of your content. Here you choose what is displayed on the front page of your site, either your latest posts or a fixed/static page.

Permalinks are the permanent URLs to individual pages and blog posts, as well as category and tag archives.
