Signing up for Blogger
We're going to use Blogger beta. Go to www.blogger.com and choose the Blogger beta command at the top of the page.
Then choose "Create a blog".
You will be taken to Stage 2, which is naming your blog. The blog title is the words you want to appear at the top of your page. You can use any letters (upper or lower case), spaces, etc. Use your imagination!
But the blog address (URL) is not so free. Please DON'T use SPACES, UPPERCASE LETTERS, !, ?, commas, or any other unusual symbols. Just use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. (Only lowercase letters is easiest to remember.) But remember that there are already millions of blogs. If you write something very simple and short, that URL probably won't be available.
After you have input your URL, click "Check availability". If that URL is already taken, choose one from the list of suggestions, or try a new one. Be patient!
When you have a blog title and URL, type the word verification code and press continue.
Choose a template. Don't spend too long deciding because you can choose from a wider selection later.
Then write your first post! The purpose is to test your blog, so make the post very short. (You can edit it later.) Press "Publish".
Choose "View Blog in a new window". Can you see your blog? Write down the URL that you can see in the address bar. This is your blog address to tell me and your friends.
