Getting Started on Your Own Blog

First you need to set up a free Google account. 

Next, go to the blogspot starter page. You'll use your Google user name and password to sign in. Follow their set-up instructions:

• Give it a title.
• Give it an internet address. Click on the Check Availability link to make sure no one has already taken that name. Create a new one if it was already taken.
• Copy the weird verification letters into the box.
• Go to the next page and choose a design template. You can revise the colors and design to suit you later.

Your blog is set up! You can go ahead and experiment with posting now, or you can wait till we work on it together in class.
