Creating your first blog.

Blogging is very easy to do. All you will need is a blogger account or a google account.

• First, go to www.blogger.com.

• If you already have a Google account (Gmail, Google+ etc.) you can log in using that. If you do not, got to the orange 'Sign Up' button at the top right of the screen, and create an account.
• When you sign in, you will see the dashboard page. This is where you run your blogs from.

• Click on the 'New Blog' button on the left.

• Enter a title and an address. The title is the name of your blog. The address is the web address you want for your blog. Because there are already a lot of people running blogs with blogger, you might find the address you want is not available. Just try a few variants until you get one which works.
• Choose a template - it doesn't matter too much what you choose at this point because you can change it later.
• Click on 'create blog'
• Your new blog will now appear in the dashboard and you can start posting right now!

POSTING:

• From the Dashboard, click on the New Post button - that's the orange pencil button next to the name of your blog. This will load the Post Editor page.

• If you are already in the blog's settings area (because you've been working on the blog already), you can click on the orange 'New Post' button on the top left.
• The post editor page looks like this:

• You must add a title for your post.
• The large box is where you type up your post. It works basically like word. 
• You can add pictures, movies and links using the buttons across the top.
• On the right of the screen, you will see the post settings. Most of these can be ignored, but it's a good idea to use Labels because they let blog readers find things much more easily.

• Click on the word 'Labels' and in the box which opens up, type in some words which describe your post. Make sure there are commas (,) between words. For example, you could type "How To Blog, Beginner Level, Creating Your First Blog"
• When you are happy with your post, click on the orange 'Publish' button at the top of the screen.
• You will end up on the posts page, which displays a list of all your posts. Don't worry, your post is actually live on the blog now. You can check it out by clicking the 'View Blog' button at the top of the page.
