How to Start Your Own Blog
Thinking about starting a blog? It might be easier than you think. It’s free, and publishing is as easy as sending an email.
5 Steps to Starting a Blog
Here’s how to do it:
1. Go to www.blogger.com and click Create A Blog
- Note: If you already have a Google account, sign in before clicking Create A Blog
2. Fill out form and click Continue
3. Enter your Blog Title and Blog Address (URL).
- The Title is what will show up in the header of each page of the blog
- The URL is what people will type in to go to the blog. It will be easier for readers to remember your blog address if the title and address are the same; however, sometimes the URL you want will not be available
4. Choose a Template
- Pick any one of several templates –some of the templates have different color choices, and click the Preview Template link below it to see a full-size preview
5. Congratulations! That’s all it takes to start blogging.
Adding Content
There are 3 ways to add content to a blog:
1. Go to www.blogger.com, login, and click New Post
2. Send an email to Blogger
- Go to Blogger>Settings>Email to set up your blog for email
- Enter an easy-for-you-to-remember word to complete the email address
- Decide whether you want to publish your emails immediately, or save emails as draft posts -which you can later post by logging into www.blogger.com
- Click Save Settings
- Send an email to that address to post on your new blog.
