Blog Creation Steps

3. Fill in the information on the next screen, officially opening a Google account, then click
“continue.”


4. Give your blog a name (remember—it should suit your chosen character!) and choose aunique URL address. Check the availability on the URL you have chosen, and once you findan available one, click “continue.”

blogging now.”


To make a post (the most recent posts will always appear at the top of your blog)


1. Sign in to your blog at https://www.blogger.com/start2 with the e-mail and password you
gave during set-up.


2. Now you will see your dashboard page, with many options for what to do. Click the blue
bubble that reads “New Post.”


3. Type in a title for your post—this will show up above the text in your blog—then enter
whatever text you wish in the box. You may also add images, videos, or links (see below).
The menu across the top will allow you to alter the font, size, and color of your text, should
you wish to do so. Keep your graphic design interesting, but remember that the text of your
posts is more important than changing each letter into a rainbow of color. Try to make design
decisions you believe your character would make.


4. Click “Publish Post.” You will now be able to choose to “View Blog,” “Edit Post,” or “Create
a New Post.” Select an option.
