By now you should at least have heard of or have been influenced by Blogs. You can contribute to the world of blogging in just a few minutes.
Blogs are simply Internet based journals. There are many hosting sites support Blogs,
with one of the most popular places to start is at Blogger. Blogger has an extremely high page rank, which means create a blog by using their service, your blog will likely be quicker indexed by Google, Yahoo, MSN, or other search engines. Another advantage is that you do not need to worry about the hosting, they will do it for you.
But one disadvantage that I have seen is Blogger dot com may delete your blog without notice and without give reasons. This means if you are making USD 100 per day from your blog that hosted at Blogger dot com, which has been removed, and then your time put forth to promoting that blog is finished. Blogger lacks the ability to view your web statistics.
The first step you will see on the screen is to create an account. You need to select a user name and password that you will be using to access your Blogger account. It is better to make the password interesting, by doing it, you can include some numbers and mixes the case.
At the same time, you need to think of a display name that will be use to sign all of your posts as well. This name can reflect your blog type, so it should have some consideration toward to creative. Just do not give your blog display name something like JyxlWz4, which is more like a password rather than a display name.
This is where you will give your blog a name. Example, Tips for Golfers - if your blog is golf related or Healthy Explorer - if it is about sell health products. Just create a simple name that people can easily remember. For more help visit to: www.your-own-blog.com But what you call it is completely up to you.
Okay, now you can click on start posting, you will see there are some other tabs for modifications on the posting screen. The settings tab will allow you to make some changes range from your blog title, some access settings and the deletion of your blog.
In this section, you also can restrict comments, create teams and do lots of other stuff. You can change the color of your navigation bar, use HTML and style sheet knowledge to modify every part of your bog appearance by click on the Template tab. But if you are not very familiar with those, better not to play too much in this area otherwise you may messed up your blog.
If you want the view blog tab work, you have to create your first blog first. Therefore you need to go back to the posting tab and enter your blog title and then create some text, add in some links and even some pictures. Then click on preview to check what the final result will look like. If you happy with the display, then you can click on publish, if not, you can modify and edit your post and until you are ready, then publish. After done this, now try the view blog tab and there it is your first blog.
