Setting Up a Blogspot Blog.
Published by BloggerMom on Oct 23, 2007 at 11:38 AMWelcome to the ever exciting world of blogging. Since you are here, let's assume that you want to start a blog...be it for personal, professional or social reasons. There is so much blogging related stuff out there that it is overwhelming to sift through it all and find the information you can use. So here I am putting up a step by step gide to get you blogspot or blogger blog up and running.
It is as simple as:
CREATE ACCOUNT -> NAME THE BLOG -> CHOOSE TEMPLATE
To start off I'd suggest getting a GMAIL account, since it offers a host of other free services. BLOGGER is just one of the many services.You can sign up for GMAIL here. The signing up is fairly simple and straight forward.
Once you sign up for the gmail account, log in and locate the "more" tab on top, drop it down and click on Blogger.
Clicking on the Blogger tab ill bring you to your Blogger Dashboard, which is basically where you can create, customize and experiment with your blog.
See the "create blog" on the top right corner? That's just the button we need to click. It will take you to "Name Your Blog" page.
Now all you need to do it enter a title you want your blog to have (provided someone else has not already taken it and it is still available). Proceed to check availability of the URL which is nothing complicated, but just a link you and others will use to reach your blog.
For instance let's call our new blog - Bloggermom testing. I have chosen that as the tittle and the URL (Your title an URL can be two different things, but make sure they are related to what you are blogging about.
As you can see the blog URL/address for bloggermom-testing is available. So we can go ahead with the word verification and capture that slot for yourself.
Then you will need to select a template. Just scroll down through the several default templates and see which one you like best. Select your template and hit the continue button.
Viola..you are done. Your blog is all set up and ready.
Just click on start posting, create a new post, review i and hit that publish button. That's all there is to it.
Happy Blogging.

Publishing on Blog*Spot is the fastest and easiest way to use all of Blogger's great features. (And for free, no less!) If you don't care to have blogspot.com in your blog's address, though, you can get a domain of your own. We'll continue to host all your content as before, but it will be displayed at your new address.
