Starting a blog can be confusing. Five years ago, when I
started my first blog, I knew absolutely nothing about blogs
or blogging. I kept searching for information and “how-to”
guides on Google, but they all required technical skills and I
found them extremely difficult to follow.
By now, I’ve built and managed more than 10 different blogs,
and during that time, I’ve learned a lot about blogging.
All I can say is that creating blogs is extremely easy and it
does not require any coding skills (HTML). In fact, the whole
process is somewhat automatic. So whether you are 20 or 70
years old, doesn’t really matter – you can still make it.
1) DECIDE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BLOG ABOUT
The first thing you need to do is pick a blog topic. Is there
anything you enjoy or are really passionate about? If there
is, then start a blog about it.
It’s much easier to write articles and posts about topics
that you’re passionate about.
It’s even better when you have been interested in a specific
field or an industry for a long time, because you are
already an expert. However, if you don’t have any idea
which topic or niche you want to write about, think about
your hobbies or just start blogging about your daily
activities, memorable moments or simply about everything.
1.- Create a
google account.
2.- Navigate to www.blogger.com using your web
browser of choice.
3.- Sign in using your Google Account to get started.
4.- Enter a “Display Name” to be used to sign
your blog posts and click “Continue”.
5.- Click “Create Your Blog Now”
6.- Select a “Blog title” and an available URL for your blog. You
can check if the URL you are considering is available by clicking
"Check Availability".
7.- Enter the word verification and click continue.
8.- Choose a starter template, which will act as the basic design/layout of your blog.
9.- You can create new blog posts, edit posts,
and edit pages from under the “Posting” tab.
10.- The title of your post goes in the text
box next to “Title”.
11.- The body of your post will get entered into the “Compose”
text editor, where you will also be able to access basic text
editor functions such as font size, text color, the ability to insert
links.
12.- The “Post Options” section located underneath the
“Compose” text editor will allow you to enable reader
comments, HTML settings, and post the time and date.
