I'm sure that's fine.  In any case, you can always change it later.

No, I cannot.  Only the user him/herself can.

Go to

  https://www.linkedin.com/secure/settings?req=

and make sure "I'll accept only Introductions" is checked and click "Save
changes" at the bottom.  Also, if you receive any unwanted emails, go to

  https://www.linkedin.com/secure/settings?msgdelivprefs=

and check the "No Email" column for each alert type and click "Save
changes" at the bottom.

There are other settings under "Email Notifications" at
https://www.linkedin.com/secure/settings , too, if it is a problem.

I don't think linkedin has blogs.  And it seems like you only have access
to chat rooms if you sign up for a "group".  (If you do get desperate for
a job, you could find one associated with accountants or local Santa
Barbara job-hunting at http://www.linkedin.com/groupsDirectory .)

OK.
