How to Setup a Blog
There are lots of sites that offer free blogging to users. On this tutorial, I will use BLOGGER. This is one of the best, and I suggest you use this too.
To start with blogging, you need to have an email account. I suggest you apply one email address in GMAIL.
Before you begin blogging, you need to identify first what is your blog all about. It should be something that you want to share with other people like your photos, stories, comments, essays or just another daily diary. Then you have to identify your target audience, whether your blog is for your eyes only, for your circle of friends, family or for the whole world to see. If you are done thinking for a blog topic, let’s proceed to the next step.
There lots of websites offering for blogs. The best for me is BLOGGER which will be the center of our tutorial. Let’s go to BLOGGER site and create a blog. Click the CREATE A BLOG button to continue.
On the next step below, we need to create a GOOGLE account to access some resources we will need in blogging. Fill up the form and click CONTINUE button on the bottom part.
Next part will be to name your blog. There are lots of existing blogs out there so be sure to check the availability of your desired blog address. For a tip, choose a blog address that best describes your blog. Once settled, click CONTINUE to proceed.
The last part of our BLOGGER registration will be the choosing of the desired layout. It will be the design of your blog so you choose what is best for you. You will find only few and simple designs available but don’t worry. Later I will guide you where to get good and nice blogger templates. In the meantime, choose any of the listed design and click CONTINUE to finish our registration.
Now let’s familiarize with the BLOGGER settings. There are four tabs on top of the page mainly POSTING, SETTINGS, LAYOUT and VIEW BLOG.
Under POSTING tab, you can create and edit your posts. Be sure to put a good title on it to attract more readers. Labels is also important, it will describe what your article is all about. Once you are done, click PUBLISH POST and you can see your finish blog.
Under SETTINGS tab, there are lots of options to choose from. For beginners, this is quite complicated. I suggest that if you are not familiar with it, leave it on default settings. Do some of the tweaking once you are familiar with BLOGGER.
LAYOUT tab handles the way your blog will look in terms of arrangement and contents to display. Page Elements section will be very useful to you so be familiar with it. Gadget is a part of your blog where you customize and add what you want aside from your blog post. Here you can put pictures, blog links, adsense and other useful blog tools that you will know as you keep on blogging. The rest of the options can be clearly understood.
Congratulations! You now have a blog. Share it with your friends and the rest of the world.
