Creating a Blog | A Step-by-step Guide (Part 2)

Follow the steps below to create a new post on your blog using Blogger.com:

1. Go to Blogger.com, log in and you will be directed to your dashboard.
2. Click on “New Post”.
3. Choose a title for your blog, and start typing. Make sure to stick to one general subject throughout your blog, otherwise search engines will not index you as strongly.
4. After highlighting your selected text, the editing buttons at the top allow you to do the following, in order from left to right:

• change the font style;
• change the font size;
• make text bold;
• make text italic;
• change the font colour;
• create a link to your text (or photo);
• change the font alignment - from left, to centre, to right, or justified;
• create a numbered list,
• create a bulleted list;
• create a block quote;
• check the spelling;
• add a picture from your computer;
• add a video from your computer;
• erase formatting.

When you are done posting, click on “publish post” or else “save as draft” to publish it later.

To change a post, go to “Posts” from the Dashboard and click on Edit next to the post you wish to edit. (Or go to "Customise" in the top-right-hand corner from your blog, then click on "Posting" tab, then "Edit Posts".)
