Listen to audio about blogs
There are many blogging sites available but for this program we will be using the Google platform Blogger to create our blogs.
#2 Create a blog
1. Go to the Blogger site.
2. Click on CREATE AN ACCOUNT. Here you are required to setup a Google account. If you already have a Google account, you will be able to sign in first at the top of the page, in which case you will go straight to step 4.
3. Here you can create a Google account using ANY email address. You may want to create a Gmail address specifically for the program, or use an alternative. Follow the steps and continue to the next page.
*Make sure you write down your login and password*
4. Select a blog title and blog address (URL). The blog title will display at the top of your blog, and the blog address will be the web address used to locate your blog online. This can be something as simple as your name ie. http://fionasblog.blogspot.com or something completely unrelated http://purplepolkadots.blogspot.com. Once you've chosen your blog name and URL, click on Continue.
*Be sure to also write down or bookmark your blog address*
5. Choose a template! This is something you can change later (there are actually more options when you change it later).
6. Start blogging! (It's also a good idea to bookmark your blog to your favourites so you can find it easily later!) You are required to submit a blog post for each activity throughout the program. To assist the tracking process, please include the task number or name in the Title field of each blog post.
7. Write your very first blog post! You may want to introduce yourself or your persona, or explain what your blog is for. When viewing your blog there is always the "New Post" option in the top right hand corner so you can update your blog!
