How to...

Make a blog!
This should be fairly easy. You need a google account to make a blog.

Making a google account is very easy.
As usual, start by opening your Web Browser, I'm using Firefox for Ubuntu Linux, so mines may look a little different from yours.

This time we're going to copy and paste this URL: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=mail&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2Fe-11-2f7697c7c271fcc270a8fe207470c-0018964156f9f515f05c6b35691b3808b53dc3de&type=2
Into your URL box near the top of your web browser.

Don't tell me you can't fill in that simple form.
Well after you finish the form, simply click "I accept. Create my account". now you have a google account!

Making your blog
Ok, now that you have your google account go to www.blogspot.com . You should see this:
Well now just log in using the google account you just made.
You should go automatically to this page.

Fill in the spaces and check the terms of service. Then click continue.


Dashboard
Here you will arrive at your dashboard! Your dashboard is mainly just something made on blogger so you can check up on all your blogs, or your blog. Yeah so well, Obviously you do not have a blog yet, so go ahead and click "Create your blog now"
Here is the second step of creating your very own blog; naming your blog and naming blogger's free domain hosting service. You can also use some other free domains, like co.cc or .tk or something like that; I forgot. Yeah, so name your blog URL whatever you want, but make sure the name is available!

And last, but not least, your starter template, which you can edit later on, so just pick whatever.

Now click the orange "Continue" button shaped like a arrow. It should lead you to this page.
When you see this page, you must do a happy dance, because you have created your own blog! Yeehoo! Yeah whatever. Click "Continue"
And here is your blog!
