The Blog

If you are among the blog enthusiasts, who would like to make their own blog, but you haven’t done that before, here is a guide on how to make a blog on the free blogging platform Blogger.com. It takes just a few small steps and about 10 minutes of your time but one day this blog may become your favorite hobby and even your steady source of income.

Blogger.com is a great blogging platform but being free, it does not provide many options. If you want to create a blog with custom functionality and custom design you will have to go with a blog created on a web hosting account. There you will have as many features as you need – ability to add custom functionality, more sophisticated design, mobile friendly design, as many email accounts as you want and more.

To make a blog on a web hosting account, click the button below:

If you have chosen to go with a blog on the free blogging platform Blogger, follow this step-by-step guide:

Make a blog: Step 1 – Open Blogger.com and confirm your account

The first step you need to take to create your blog is to visit Blogger.com. If you already have an account with Google.com just log in with your username and password or you will have to create a new account.

If you are visiting Blogger.com for the first time you will be asked to confirm your profile. This will be your public name and how users will see you.

When you are ready, click the button “Continue to Blogger”. You will be redirected to a new page with the option to create a “New Blog” and read useful information about blogging with Blogger.com

Make a blog: Step 2 – Setup your new blog

When you click the “Create Button” a popup will open. Fill in the Title of your blog, the Address (this is how people will access your blog) and choose a Template.

You can change your blog address later.

Also you will be able to change the style of your blog.

Once you complete the form, hit the “Create blog!” button. The popup will close and you will see your new blog on top of the page.

Make a blog: Step 3 – Start posting

It is time to write your first post. To do that, click the orange button with pen on it.

Fill in the “Post title” field. Make it as catchy as you can to encourage people to read the entire post. Ensure that the content corresponds to the title, as you do not like to mislead your visitors, who will unlikely come back if they feel disappointed.

Start writing your blog post in the field below. You are not required to write your post directly in the Publishing screen. It will be more convenient for you to use Microsoft Word or Notepad to form your thoughts without hurrying. This will allow you to save your document at any stage of its forming. Thus, you will be able to prevent the bad experience of numerous bloggers who write their content directly on the blog software, but Internet disconnection or some other technical issue leads to the lost of a post and of a time spent on its composing.

If you feel more comfortable with the Publishing screen, remember to hit the Save button more often.

Make a blog: Step 4 – Format your post

The last step of the process is to format your post the right way. The font size can be changed with the corresponding icon, located on the top. There are other icons for italics and bold, as well as choosing the formatting style of your preference. In order to apply them, you just need to select the desired part of the text and click on the appropriate icon.

Since one of the main ideas about blog creation is communication with internet customers, make sure that your blog is friendly and provides useful information that will be of help to your readers. Thus, you will win loyal visitors who will come back for more.
