credit card for bad credit rating advice.

Hi.
I have just got a new credit card to try and rebuild my credit rating and would just like to know the best way to keep it clean.
Will use it like once a week to pay for the weekly shop but want to clarify to best way to pay it off. Should I..
Pay it off immediately after I spend on it (i.e pay for shopping one day then pay it off the following day)
or
Wait for the bill to come through each month then clear it in full.
neither of these options would be a problem for me I just wanted advise on which looks best from a company compiling my rating.
Many thanks.
