Creating a Free Blog Account

Creating a Free Blog Account

Let me introduce you to "Blogger." It is a free blogging service provided by the well known "Google." It is very easy to use and has many functions available to make your blog into a decent looking site and the best part is that it is FREE.

As you can see, I am using Blogger as well. So let's start creating your blog.

You will need to have a google account, if you don't have one you can make one at http://www.google.com/ for free.

1. Go to http://www.blogger.com/


2. It will ask you to log in with your Google account. Input the information and click "Log in."


3. You will be directed to sign up page. Fill in the information required and click the box that you accept the terms and agreement of Blogger.


4. They will ask you to input the name of your blog, so think of what you want to blog about (your hobbies,work,news,etc.) and give your blog a name. Word of advise, it is important how you name your blog because your blog's name will be appearing on the search engines. Same thing goes for blog's address, so think hard about giving your blog a good catchy address. (Check availability!! There is a good chance you won't be able to use the address you want for your blog because it is already taken.) Click on Continue to proceed.


5. You can pick the template for your blog here. Choose the template you want and click on Continue.


6. You are done!! You have created your free blog. Click on Start Blogging to manage and set up your blog.

Try things out with your new blog and get to know the functions it provides. On the next post I will post more on setting up your blog and how to start monetizing your blog as well. Remember!! Blogging should be fun. You won't just open your blog to the public and start earning money right away. Have fun posting your own articles about things you like by putting some time and effort into your articles and after a while, your blog will attract others to come visit your blog and then you will start generating income from your blog. So be creative and have fun!!
