Setting up your own blog

Let's Begin,

2. Fill in the registration details, click to accept the terms of service, and then click "Continue."

3. Fill in the details on the next screen, officially open a Google Account, and click "Continue."

4. Name your blog (remember — it should fit the character you chose!) And choose a unique URL address. Check the availability of the URL you selected, and once you have found it, click "continue."

5. Now comes the fun part: scroll to the available templates and select the one that you think will appeal to your character. Click "Continue."

6. Congratulations! You should see a screen that says “Your blog has been created”. Click “Start Blogging Now.”

 

 

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

1. log in to your blog at https://www.blogger.com/start2 with the email and password you provided during setup.

2. Now you will see your dashboard page, which has many options for what to do. Click on the blue bubble that reads "New Post."

3. Type the title of your post — this will appear above the text on your blog — and enter any text you wish in the box. You can also add photos, videos, or links (see below). The menu at the top will allow you to change the font, size, and color of your text if you wish to do so. Keep your graphic design interesting, but remember that the text of your post is more important than turning each letter into a rainbow of color. Try to make design decisions that you believe your character can make.

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