Setting Up Your Blog With Blogger.com

1

2

Pick a username and password that you'll remember. The password has to be at least 6 characters long and the username has to be unique on Blogger. Unless your name is very uncommon, you won't be able to use it as a username on Blogger without appending something else, like your zipcode.

WRITE DOWN YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD NOW!

3

Choose a title for your blog. That's how it will appear in bookmarks, etc.

Choose a one-word and unique name for the URL for your blog. No spaces or unusual characters.

4

There are many to choose from. Just pick one for now to get started. You can always change it later.

5

Wasn't that simple?

6

Now click in the Settings tab and complete a description for your blog. Again, you can always go back and change it.

7

Go to the Publishing tab under settings.

Change the Ping Weblogs.com setting to Yes and click on Save Settings. This will help other bloggers find you when you've made a change.

8

Now you're ready to post your first blog entry. Write something and then click Publish Post.

9

In no time, your blog is published. Notice the URL. That's what you need to tell to anyone you'd like reading your blog.

And now you're done! From this moment on, you can tell your friends and relatives to to go to http://whatever.blogspot.com/ to see your blog (substituting your blog name, of course).

To add new entries to your blog, simply go to http://www.blogger.com and log in.
