Creating your own blog


Go to https://www.blogger.com/start

Click on “create a blog”

The next screen will take you creating a new google account--if you already have a google account, sign in with that

Then it will ask you to name your blog

Then you will choose a template and you are ready to start blogging!

IMPORTANT: As you create your blog, make sure that you disable the captcha for comments and allow comments from other users

Remember that these are all public forums. Personalize your blog as you wish, but only include information you are comfortable with everyone knowing. Do fill in the “about me” part of blogger (clicking on “edit profile”)

Click on "new post" and title it "draft for blog 1" then write a few lines about yourself. This is just a draft to get you to post, so do not worry about how good it sounds etc. We will work on the draft more later.

After you post your first blog, copy the web address of your blog and post it as a comment to this blog entry along with your name

Add a link on your blog back to this one by clicking "design" on your blog and then "Add a gadget" and then "Blog List" then "Add". Copy and paste http://medialives.blogspot.com/”into the window and save
