Posting to Blogger Step-by-Step

You’ve probably heard about blogging, online journaling in which all kinds of people are engaged. Along with social networking, it’s the thing to be doing on the Internet. Starting a blog has never been easier.

Blogger is a good hosting site for a couple of reasons. The first is that it’s free. The second is that you can make money off your site with Google ads and other third-party advertising companies or you can choose to have no ads at all. (Blogger has no paying blog hosting plans.) Third and last is that Blogger allows you to upload as many photos as you want on any given day (unlike Fotolog.com whose free plan only allows one photo a day).

Since this is a quick and easy book, you want to create a quick and easy blog. At Blogger all you have to do is this:

Click on Create a Blog at blogger.com
Create a Google account, or sign in if you already have one.
The next page will be “Name Your Blog.”
Type in the Title of your Blog (there’s a 29 character limit.
Type in your Blog Address (this is the URL your blog will have after you publish it).
Check the URL availability (someone may have taken the URL you want to create). If they have, Blogger will give you some optional choices to click on for a new URL).
Type in Word Verification
Click on the Continue button at the bottom right side of the window.
Chose a template by scrolling through the bunch that appears and then clicking on one.
A page appears that says, “Your blog has been created,” click on START BLOGGING.

The next window that appears will look like a word processing document. As a matter of fact, it works like one too. Scroll over each of the buttons and a tag appears telling you what to do.
