YOU WILL LEARN:
1. How to get a Google Account.
2. How to create a Blog.
3. How to write your Blog.
4. How to Publish your Blog.
Before you can use Google Blogger or Google AdSense you need a Google Account. If you do not already have a Google Account, you need to set one up. Go to:
http://www.google.com/accounts
Fill out and submit the form to create your Google Account. It's as easy as that!
Next, go to:
http://www.google.com/blogger
Log in with your email and password from your Google Account.
Click on "Create a blog."
Enter the name and URL for your new Web blog.
You might have to enter several choices until you enter ones that have not already been taken.
Then enter the code that proves you are human; and click save.
A window will open showing you a variety of blog templates to choose from. Do not worry, later if you decide you want a different template you can change it. Look them over, take your pick, then click "Save."
Congratulation! You are now a blogger! You have your very own blog!
Next, click on "Start Posting."
A blog edit window will open and you are ready to compose the content of your first Web page!
First enter the "Title."
Next, click "Compose," which is located to the left of the top tool bar. We will talk about the "HTML" button in another tutorial.
Google uses HTML5, AJAX, and CSS3. Do not worry, they are easier than they might sound. We will discuss them all later in other tutorials.
Then start typing your Web page!
As you type you might need word processing functions. Many typical word processing function selections appear on the tool bar above the edit area. Move your mouse cursor over these one at a time and you will activate a bubble pop up label which explains their use.
On the right in red you will see "Post settings," left click on "Post settings:"
Click "Labels:"
Enter your Web page's key words or phrases as you type your Web page. The Labels are important, they are used by Google to find Web pages with labels matching information people search for. When you have entered all your "Labels" click "Done."
Click "Schedule:"
Either left click "Automatic" or "Set date and time." "Automatic" means Google does it for you, and "Set date and time" will activate a drop down screen and you will be able to do it yourself.
Click "Location:"
Move your cursor over the map and you will see a hand pointer. Place the hand over the location your Web" page is related too and "double left click." For example, if you are writing a movie review and the movie is playing in a certain city in the United States keep "double left clicking" until you find that city, then click "Done."
Click "Options:"
Select the appropriate "Options" then click "Done."
When you are done posting your settings, left click "Post settings" and the drop down will close. If you think of something later you can click "Post settings" again and make whatever changes you need to make.
When you are done click the green check mark on the tool bar labeled ABC. This is a spelling checker. It will color any words it suspects yellow. After you fix any spelling errors you can left click one of the following:
Click "Save," which saves your Web page as a draft.
Click "Preview," which lets you see what it will look like after it is published.
Click "Close," which closes without saving, which means you lost what you typed.
Or, "drum roll," you can click "Publish," which of course publishes your Web page! Now you can put on your resume you are a publisher!
Have fun publishing and please look for other tutorials on my Web page.
