Steps to creation your first blog
- Go to http://www.blogger.com
- Click where it says “Create Your Blog
Now”
- Fill in a user name. This can be
anything you want – it’s what you’ll use to sign in to your blog.
- Select a password. This must be
at least 6 characters long. Try to use a combination of numbers and
letters, and think of something that others will not be able to easily
guess.
- Select a display name. This will be
used to sign your blog posts, so choose something that will protect your
identity! We recommend that you refrain from using your first and last
name, or, if you can be easily located with your first name, choose a name
that is somewhat disguising.
- Enter an e-mail address. You’ll need
this to register, and later on you can change your preferences so this
won’t appear on your blog in clear sight of visitors. Consider setting up a separate e-mail account for your blog – this
helps protect you from online predators.
- Read the terms of service, then click
the box indicating you have done so.
- Click continue
- Give your blog a title. This is what
will show at the top of your blog page
- Choose a web address for your blog
space.
This will display in the address bar as
http://yourblogspacename.blogspot.com
- Choose a template. Select from
the templates the way you’d like your blog to look. Don’t like anything
you see? Just select one to get started – we’ll show you how you can
change or customize it later if you want.
Once
your blog has been created, you’re ready to change your personal profile and
begin posting!
