Blogger 101 tutorial - First Steps


1. Blogger is one of Google services so you need to get a Google account. You can begin at http://www.gmail.com and follow the link "sign up for a new Google account".
UPDATE: If you do not want to get Gmail email account and prefer using your existing email (not-Gmail) for your blog you can sign up for Blogger account HERE

If you already have an account with Google, you can simply log in.
2.http://www.blogger.com is where you access your "Dashboard". Once you are logged in with your newly created Google username and password you should be able to see "create a blog" link on the top right.


3. Now you need to find a title for your blog (it could be changed later on) and select an address for it.

Clicking "start blogging" will bring you to the "new post" page:
