Blogging refers to writing, photography, and other media that's self-published online. Blogging started as an opportunity for individuals to write diary-style entries, but it has since been incorporated into websites for many businesses. The hallmarks of blogging include frequent updates, informal language, and opportunities for readers to engage and start a conversation.
Here's an overview of what a blog is, why it's popular, and tips for starting your own blog.
What Is Blogging?
The word blog is actually a shortened form of its original name, "weblog." These weblogs allowed early internet users to "log" the details of their day in diary-style entries. Blogs often allow readers to comment, so as they became more common, communities sprung up around popular blogs.
Note
The content of blogs varies significantly. For example, travel blogs may feature many pictures with few written passages, while political blogs may weigh in with wordy takes on the news of the day. The popularity of YouTube and similar sites also gave rise to video blogging, or "vlogging."
Like most internet-based innovations, many entrepreneurs saw marketing potential in having a blog, and the adoption of blogging among the business community helped further increase the popularity of the medium. Not only can a blog be used for marketing a business, but it can also become a home business in and of itself.

Blogger Tutorial
While there are many, many blogging applications out there, I think that the easiest
by far is Blogger. I personally use Blogger, in some form, for the 4 blogs that I
currently run. Even if you decide to go elsewhere after this class, using Blogger
and getting used to Blog-speak will prepare you well for the next application you
use.
This tutorial goes over the basics that you need to utilize Blogger for the
requirements in this course. I’ll start with registration, then go over set up options
and lastly the commenting feature.
Registration
Blogger makes getting started REALLY simple. The set up hardly needs explanation
(but I will anyway).
1. Go to http://www.blogger.com
2. You will see the Blogger homepage
3. Click on the “CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW” button to begin.

2. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
4. You will then see the “Create an account” page.
5. Fill out the information and click on the “CONTINUE” button.

3. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
6. You will then see the “Name your blog” page.
7. this is an important page because this is where you first set your online
identity. A title and address are very important. You want to choose ones
that mean something to you and are easy for others to associate with your
blog.
8. You’ll also notice the “Word Verification”. This is a picture of a series of
numbers and letters. Computers have a difficult, if not impossible time
“reading” these sets of numbers. Therefore this is a security step that
assures that computers aren’t being used to register accounts and clogging
up the Blogger system. You’ll also see these when posting comments to
people’s blog posts. This is to make sure that spammers can’t post
comments on your blog.
9. Fill out the information on this page and click on the “CONTINUE” button.

4. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
10. You will then see the “Choose a template” page.
11. Blogger has quite a few templates that you can use. These determine what
your blog looks like. While none may be perfect for you, pick one that
speaks to you a little. Click on the radio button under the template you want
to use and then click on the “CONTINUE” button.
12. You will then see the confirmation page confirming that your blog has been
created

for now and take care of some of the blog settings.
15. Click on the “Settings” tab.

6. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
16. You will then see the “Basic” Settings page.
• The title should already
be filled in (same as
when you registered)
• Put a very brief
description of the site.
This may appear directly
on your blog depending
on the template you
chose.
• I suggest listing your
blog.
• Show Quick Editing on
your blog

19. There are 2 options here that you didn’t have before: (1) Republish your
blog and (2) Republish Index. When you are done saving all of your settings,
then I would suggest clicking on the “Republish” button. This applies the
changes here to all of your blog pages. “Republish Index” is good for very
big blogs because it is faster. Don’t bother with it unless your blog gets
huge (hundreds of postings).
20. Click on the “Publishing” link to move on to the next set of settings.

best for you
• Please choose the time zone you are in
now.
• Language is the language of choice for
your blog.
• Don’t both with encoding. Leave it at
“Universal (Unicode UTF-8)”
• This one is a toss
up, but I’d set it
to “Yes”
• Yes, show title field
• Yes, show link field
• Yes, enable float alignment.

25. Click on “Save Settings” if you made any changes.
26. Next, click on the “Comments” link in the settings menu.
27. You will then see the Comments Settings page.
• Click on “Show”
• I suggest that you let “Anyone” comment.
• Select “New Posts Have Comments”
• Click on “Show”. Backlinks can be very
interesting.
• Select “New Posts Have Backlinks”
• Choose whichever format you would like to
appear on the time stamp in your
comments.
• I would suggest not showing comments in
a popup window (select No)
• YES, definitely show word verification.
Stops nasty spam from appearing on your
comments.
• No, I wouldn’t enable comment
moderation. It’s too much work for you.
Consider this for student blogs though.
• I’d suggest that you select “Yes”. It
makes comments more interesting.
• I’d put your email address in this space.
Otherwise, you’ll never know that you
have new comments.

28. Click on the “Save Settings” button.

“Post Pages”.

here and get it though.

13. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
38. You will then see the Email Settings page.
39. If you would like an email sent to you each time you publish a post, put your
email address in the “BlogSend Address” textbox.
40. The “Mail-to-Blogger Address” is a really cool option. If you set this up, you
can send an email to Blogger and the email will be posted in your blog. To
do this put in a unique name (see where I entered “linguavita”) and check
the box next to “Publish”.
41. Click on the “Save Settings” button if you changed any settings.
42. Next, click on the “Members” link in the Settings menu.
43. You will then see the Members Settings page.
44. You can use this if you would like to add “members” to your blog. This is
great for team blogging (more than one person adding postings). However,
13
14. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
at this time you don’t need to do anything with this.
45. That’s it for settings.
Posting
Posting is also quite easy, but I thought that I’d go over a couple things anyway.
46. Click on the “Posting” tab.
47. You will then see the Create Posting page by default.
48. You must fill in the “Title” field. This serves many purposes and its
importance will be very clear later on when we talk about RSS and
Aggregators.
49. The “Link” field is optional. It will make that title of the posting a link. It is
good to use if the posting refers specifically to another Web page, such as
with the Web/Software Evaluation assignments.

50. The editor similar to others that you have likely seen. It is also similar to the
formatting options in MS Word. You can also edit HTML using this interface
(if you click on the “Edit Html” tab). I wouldn’t suggest doing this unless you
are familiar with HTML. Maybe later in the semester we can explore this
further.
51. Like everything you do an a computer, SAVE OFTEN. That is what the “Save
as Draft” button is for. You post won’t be published, but it will be saved.
52. If you are ready to post, click on the “Publish Post” button.
53. You will then see a confirmation that it was published.
54. There are options that allow you to “Republish Index Only” or to “Republish
Entire Blog”. You don’t need to do this. Your post was already published.
However, you can always go back here, the “Status” section, and click on the
“Republish Entire Blog” button if you need to.
55. Next, click on the “Edit posts” link in the Posting menu.
56. You will then see the Edit posts page.
15
16. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
57. You’ll see the post that you just published here. You’ll also see posts that
were saved as drafts but not published.
58. You can Edit, View, or Delete postings from this page.
Template
59. Next, click on the “Template” tab.
60. You will then see the Template page. This looks scary, doesn’t it.
61. From here you can edit the magical template that you blog design is based
on. If you would like to customize this, it can be a special project that I can
help you with.
62. You can also choose a new template altogether if you click on the “Pick new”
link in the menu.
16
17. Computer Assisted Language Learning Tutorials
63. That’s all I’ll say about Templates at this point.
64. Next, click on the “View Blog” tab.
65. You will then see your blog.
66. The structure is pretty standard.
a. There is a navigation bar across that top. This is for Blogger stuff. The
“Search This Blog” function is really helpful for blogs with lots of
postings.
b. There is a Title, with site description below it.
c. There is a posting with a date, title, text, and information below the
post, including a link to comments. By clicking on this link you can view
and post comments.
d. A space for “About Me” (profile information)
e. Links
f. Previous posts
g. Archives (by month/year)

67. Click on the “comments” link.
68. You will then see the Comments page.
69. Type your comment in the text area. Choose and identity, I suggest
selecting your Blogger display name. This will link your comment back to
your blog (if you’re commenting on someone else’s blog).
70. Word Verification in working here. Type in the letters or numbers that you
see in the image. The example above is “fggng”.
71. Click on the “Login and Publish” button.

72. Then you will see a confirmation that your comment was posted. You can
also see you comment here and/or post a new one.
That all folks!
Blogger doesn’t really need this much explanation, but some people feel more
comfortable if they have some sort of document that can provide guidance and
especially images that let them know they are on the right page (both literally and
figuratively).
Let me know if you have any questions.
