2. Add the full URL to your site in the Add Site textbox.
3. Next you need to verify your site. You can verify it either by uploading a certain file to the root of your site or by inserting a particular metatag into your blog. Some people might be able to upload files directly to the root directory of their site. Putting metatags into blogs is typically not very hard. Here are the directions for putting metatags into wordpress.
4. Next, you need to point google to your sitemap. The most simple method of doing this is just to use your RSS feed for your sitemap. DagonDesign has a nice sitemap generator plugin for wordpress. Arne has released a nice one as well.
5. Once spidered, you will also benefit from all the extra stats and SEO information that google sitemap uses as a reward for using their service.
