How To Create a Blog With Blogger.com

While there are many, many blogging applications out there, I think that the easiest by far is Blogger.  I personally use Blogger, in some form, for the 4 blogs that I currently run.  Even if you decide to go elsewhere after this class, using Blogger and getting used to Blog-speak will prepare you well for the next application you use.

This tutorial goes over the basics that you need to utilize Blogger for the requirements in this course.  I’ll start with registration, then go over set up options and lastly the commenting feature.

To have blog in blogger.com is so easy. We just need google account/ Gmail, ( if you didn’t have google account you must create one here ). After you make Google Account/ gmail you can make yours own blog. Go to Blogger homepage, and click “Create A Blog”.

Blogger makes getting started REALLY simple.  The set up hardly needs explanation

(but I will anyway).

1.  Go to http://www.blogger.com

2.  You will see the Blogger homepage

3.  Click on the “CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW” button to begin.

4.  You will then see the “Create an account” page.

5. Fill out the information and click on the “CONTINUE” button.

6. You will then see the “Name your blog” page.

7. This is an important page because this is where you first set your online

identity.  A title and address are very important.  You want to choose ones

that mean something to you and are easy for others to associate with your

blog.

8. You’ll also notice the “Word Verification”.  This is a picture of a series of

numbers and letters.  Computers have a difficult, if not impossible time

“reading” these sets of numbers.  Therefore this is a security step that

assures that computers aren’t being used to register accounts and clogging

up the Blogger system.  You’ll also see these when posting comments to

people’s blog posts.  This is to make sure that spammers can’t post

comments on your blog.

9. Fill out the information on this page and click on the “CONTINUE” button.

10. You will then see the “Choose a template” page.

11. Blogger has quite a few templates that you can use.  These determine what

your blog looks like.  While none may be perfect for you, pick one that

speaks to you a little.  Click on the radio button under the template you want

to use and then click on the “CONTINUE” button.

 12. You will then see the confirmation page confirming that your blog has been

Created

13. Click on the “START POSTING” button so we can start doing some more with the blog settings
