You should make a new question for every other question you have... But well. The code below (Might be a bit arduino styled, but it might help the questioner).

The Setup code runs only once, at the start of your progam. Great to initialize any peripherals and/or send a hello message / startup routine. The Loop code runs continiously, usually this contains a program like blinking leds... or the security system of a nuclear powerplant. However, it's not designed to be returned from, it's designed to run forever. Though my code will catch you in a while(forever); if you were to return from it.

I haven't tested the code, I'm at.. "work".. oops. - (I'm actually a student on internship, before anyone starts hating, this has educational value.)

    UBRR0H = (BUAD_RATE_CALC >> 8); 
    UBRR0L = BUAD_RATE_CALC; 
    //transimit and recieve enable
    UCSR0B = (1 << TXEN0)| (1 << TXCIE0) | (1 << RXEN0) | (1 << RXCIE0); 
    UCSR0C = (1 << UCSZ01) | (1 << UCSZ00);  //8 bit data format
}

void serialSend(char* sendString){
     for (int i = 0; i < strlen(sendString); i++){ 
         while (( UCSR0A & (1<<UDRE0))  == 0){};
         UDR0 = sendString[i]; 
     } 
}

int main(void){  
    Setup();
    while(1){
       Loop();
    }
while(1){}//If you ever return from Loop(); This while will catch you, so it won't continue doing randomness.
