How to create a blog. The supplier Blogger
(first steps)
As it was already indicated, we will work with the supplier Blogger so take advantage of the tools that Google offers for our blog becomes as interesting as possible. Thus, once created the account in gmail, click on the orange arrow that says "CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW" in the web page www.blogger.com.
In the "Create a Google Account" step, we have to write our Gmail account (that will be our username). Then, we will write again this account in the textbox below, enter a password (normally the same password in gmail account. I have never tried to put a different one), repeat the password, enter the name that will appear when signing the posts, fill in the word verification textbox and click on the acceptance of conditions of service box.
The next step is to assign a name and URL to the blog (we can place our blog on another server different from the blogspot server by clicking on "Advanced Blog Setup" and choosing the options we want):
Then, choose a template:
¡¡¡ And we have just created our blog !!!
Now there are many things to do and it is fairly easy to get lost in all the available possibilities to us. On the one hand we can start writing posts; on the other hand, we can choose the look that our blog is going to have (include links, slideshows, design headers, etc..); we can also configure comments, blog authors, the format of dates that appear on the posts, etc, etc.; we can complete the profile of the blog, etc etc.
Following the "natural" order of all that is displayed on our web page, the first thing that blogger shows us is the editing posts page. Ie, the first tinhg that blogger offers us is to publish our first post. On this part of this manual we will ignore this possibility because it will deepen in the section devoted to the "Create Post" tab .
