HI,
I just installed suffusion and can't figure out how to replace the "MY BLOG" in the header with my own title, and how to change the side bars.
Here is my address.
http://www.fixingtheus.com/
I would like to eliminate- Just another WordPress site - completely if possible.
It all looks simple until I started to use it, now I can't seem to figure out how to get what I want.
Will all this work automatically when I start using it. How do I change the links to the ones I want?
How do I change the Meta box to get incoming RSS feeds?
I have read the instructions, but don't understand the terms well enough. Can someone help me?

Most of your questions are beginners questions for WordPress, not Suffusion. As a general guidance this forum is for the latter - foundational WP questions must be posted at the forums on wordpress.org.

See Settings -> General -> Site Title in your WP dashboard.

Same as above. Change the tagline.

?? You are already using it, aren't you? Unless you are using a plugin to mask your content, your site is live the moment you have a URL.

Which links are you referring to?

There is a specific RSS widget you can add from Appearance -> Widgets in your WP admin dashboard.

Thanks so much for answering my questions even though they should have been at the wordpress forum.
Since I don't know whether my next questions should be for wordpress or suffusion, I will ask them here,
and if I need to, I will ask them at wordpress also.
In my layout, the main body of content is in the middle, and on the right there are four boxes. The top box
is headed Categories and the one below that is headed Archives etc.
My question is, how do I change those? Say I want to move Categories to the bottom, or replace Archives
with RSS feeds? Can I add more?

These are widgets just drag and drop them in the order that you want them to appear.
