How to create a blog in Blogger


If you want to start on this in the blogs, it's best to create one in Blogger, where many people start to write their blogs, and where This blog is hosted. Just type http://www.blogger.com in the address bar of your browser or click on this link. Then shall appear the Blogger homepage, where you will perform three simple steps to create your blog. All you need is an email account mail and do not have to be that of Google, the company that owns this free service posts or blogs. Feel like having your blog? So read on and begin a new adventure on the Web

1. First step: create an account

When we entered Blogger invite us to create ourselves a blog with the motto "Create a blog . It's free " , but first should make a quick visit , as we suggest a link, to know what this is. Then we click on the orange button Start to start this adventure.

The first phase is only necessary if you do not have Google account. If we do, you have to click on the " first accessed, from where access to the second step. You do not need a Google account, but should have it if we want to access all the tools that are most used on the Web, and for this you must fill out a form .

In any case, we can create a blog without Google account, for which we must complete the first form which appears with the following headline:

This form must include the following:
  1. An e-mail account exists, that will be repeated on the next text field. Here you type the full address of the account.
  2. A password written twice to avoid mistakes. You must include at least eight characters and can be verified strength, ie its quality as a password by clicking the link.
  3. The name appears as author blog and articles. You can choose a nickname or nickname , or our real name.
  4. A check that is to write the letters on a small image, which is done to avoid creating accounts automatically. Activate
  5. box acceptance of the conditions. It should be reading these Blogger Terms of Service, which many find unfair.
We click on the arrow Continue, and continue to the next step.

2. Second step: name the blog

At this stage just write a name to our blog, that may change later, and assign an address Internet, that should not be changed later on pain of losing readers. It is important that the address (also called URL ) is short and always in lowercase, no special characters such as accents, hyphens or ñ, and no gaps. The address is usually the name of the blog or the author's name, but you can put whatever you want. For my test blog, called "My blog on Blogger, I've put this address: miblogenblogger . After Blogger adds the final to look like:

http://miblogenblogger.blogspot.com.
But before I go there click on the link that says Check availability to see if that name is already chosen by another user, and is often the case that is already used, so is to sharpen our wits. If this occurs, advise us with the phrase: Sorry, this blog address is not available .

And now the last step.

3. Third step: choosing a template

Finally, we must choose a template, which is the overall design of the blog. Choose the ones you like, but later we can change it whenever we want. The choice of the template is important, so I wrote an article on this blog, " Design and selection of staff in Blogger, where I write some tips for choosing the appropriate template.

And when you click on the last arrow Continue , we have our blog in Blogger:

now need to configure before you start writing. But that's another story.

4. How to access the new blog

A common problem with beginners is they do not know access your new blog. It can be accessed in two ways:
  1. The easiest way is to go to the Blogger homepage, and there we have a small form with a text field and a password. In the first write your username in this case our Google Account or address of the mail account that recorded our blog. When we click on the link Get , we arrive at our Desktop blog. Writing
  2. address of the new blog, for example: http://miblogenblogger.blogspot.com . In this case, some links appear at the top of the blog. There you can click Get r, which is on the right side, and then come to the Blogger home page to include our data.
