I've got a Blue Yeti too, it's a good mic.
For next time, if you're ever in the market again.... Here's a mega-review of just about every USB/XLR Microphone by Marco Arment.

Here's what he has to say about the Blue Yeti:
"The Yeti has been recommended for years as an inexpensive starter mic. Getting good sound out of it takes some work and additional gear: it needs a strong pop filter, it picks up a lot of room echo, and its included desk stand keeps the mic too far away for good sound. But its a great value, and under ideal circumstances -- close-up use in a silent, soft room with a pop filter -- it can yield excellent sound quality. (The Yeti has selectable pickup patterns. These were using the cardioid setting, which both Blue and I recommend for podcasting.)"
