Using Google Apps
Get Started with Blogger
The first thing to do is open http://www.blogger.com in your
browser and sign in using your Google account username
and password.
Step 1
❱ The main Blogger screen is fairly simple; until you create your
first blog, barely anything is shown here. You will see a couple of
buttons and some news from Blogger Buzz, the official Blogger
blog. To get started, click the New Blog button at the bottom
middle of the screen.
Step 2
❱ In the window that opens, you can type the name of your blog,
which will appear as the heading, and choose the blog URL. Any
Google hosted blog will have .blogspot.com at the end of the
URL, with the part you add appearing before it. Try to choose a
URL which relates to the content of the blog, e.g. cupcakerecipes.
blogspot.com or mythoughts.blogspot.com.
Step 3
❱ The next thing to do is choose a style for your blog using the
preset themes. There are several basic themes to choose from here
but don’t worry too much as you can easily change the style at any
time. For now, stick with the default Simple theme. Click Create
Blog to continue.Create a Blog

without taking the plunge, Blogger is the way to do it.
