How to create a new blog?

11:29 PM | Labels: creating a new blog, what is a blog?

First of all, what is a blog? A blog is just like a website, but it is provided free of cost. You can write anything on your blog, you can put your family pictures, and upload favourite videos and do much more, using it. Once you understand how to do these things, blogging is a real fun. Many people do blogging as their hobby.

No html, no technical jargons, no computer language is needed to start and run a blog. It is done in just few clicks. Follow this blog and you could develop one very easily.

All blogs, which blogger.com gives has a suffix as ' .blogspot.com'. That is, if you name your blog as sumazla, then the url of the blog goes as, http://sumazla.blogspot.com/

In this blog, I am going to teach you in easy English, how to create a new blog, some advanced blogging techniques and how to earn through blogs. Once you created a new blog, there are some techniques, though which you can make your blog look like a professional website. And by displaying ads on your blogs, you can also earn through them, mostly as 'pay per click'.

Now, first of all, you should have a gmail account. If you dont have one, go to http://www.gmail.com/ and create one. Even if you have an account already, it is my advice, to create a new account exclusively for blogging.

Now go to http://www.blogger.com/. You will get a page like the picture below. Type your gmail user id and password here. You are typing gmail user id for blogger, because, gmail and blogger belong to the same family.

Click sign, and you will be taken to a page, as you see below:

In this page, you have to enter your display name, that is you have to enter either your name or your nick name. You can easily change it later. Tick in the small square to accept the terms and click red colour 'continue' button. A new page opens now.
Here, in this page you have to give a suitable title for your blog. Suppose you are going to write about Flowers in your blog, then give the title as, 'Flowers'. You can change it later. Next comes the blog address. This is your website address, which you and other people going to type in the explorer, to view your blog. You cannot change this later. So make it easier for people to remember. This is just like creating your email id. You have to check for the availability of the particular address you give. Suppose if you want to give the address as sumazla, type sumazla into the space; then it automatically takes the blogspot suffix and your url will be http://sumazla.blogspot.com/ . Now click continue button. You get a page like this.
You will be asked to choose a template. Templates means design of your blog, how it looks like. You can choose your desired template, but can easily change it later. The posts, contents of your blog will not be spoiled when you change your template at a later time. Instead it is transported to the new template. Now as you selected the template, click continue button. Congrats! You have successfully, created your blog. But still, your blog is empty. You must put some quality content into it. It is called blogging or posting. Now you can, either click, the START BLOGGING, red colour button to start to post immediately, or just log off to post at your leisure.
