If you are new to blogging and you are planning to start your own blog, I would suggest you to sign up for an account at Blogger. Blogging at Blogger is easy and fun to do. Blogger has some great features and above all it is free. So you have nothing to lose. To start a blog at Blogger, follow following four easy steps, which can easily be completed within a couple of minutes.

Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to help you to get started:

Step #1: Go to Blogger and click “CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW” option near bottom right corner of the page. Step #2: You will be asked to create a user name and choose a password that you will require to access your Blogger account. Type a display name that will be used to sign your posts and provide an email address. Blogger accepts other email addresses besides Google/Gmail ones.

Don’t forget to check the box that say you accept Blogger’s Terms of Service  and click “CONTINUE” to go to the next screen.



Step #3: Give a descriptive title and web address to your blog. It will be better if you use relevant keyword phrases in your blog’s title and its web address. It will help in search engine optimization and you will be able to get a relatively higher page rank in searches. Click “CONTINUE” to go to next window.
Step #4: You are required to select a template for your blog. This is the style and look of your blog. Blogger already has some preset designs that you can use. Select a template and click “CONTINUE”.
Your new blog is created and is ready for posting. Click on “Start Posting” to write your first post for the world to see. After you have finished writing your first post, click on “Publish post”. Within a few seconds Blogger will tell you that it has published your post and you have officially joined blogger’s community.
