Of course you have often heard about Blog, right? Or perhaps, you have known it. But if you are still new to blog, below is the discussion.
What is Blog?
Blog is short for “Web log”. It is a web application containing writings that are commonly called posts on web pages. The writings are often ordered from the newer to older.
At the beginning of its presence, blog was used to write personal notes online, but along with the development and popularity, blog becomes more similar to a website in general, which contains tutorial, business, online store, and so on.
In blog terms, there is what is called Blog Platform, e.g. Blogger or WordPress. Blog platform or people like to call as blog machine is designed in such a way by programmers or developers in order to be easy in use. Previously, to create a web-based application, they needed the knowledge on any programming language such as CSS, HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and more, but with the presence of blog platforms, all becomes so easy because just by clicks on buttons, your blog can be accessed.
How to create a blog in Blogger
One of the most popular blog providers today is Blogger.com, so I am trying to discuss about how to create a blog in Blogger. Why should we create blog in Blogger not in any other blog provider? Actually, there is no obligation to create blog in Blogger, but the easiness given by Blogger has made beginners right to choose it.
However, it needs to be emphasized that the Internet world is dynamic, so it is possible to experience many changes in the future that this Guide to creating blog in Blogger will not be relevant anymore in Blogger.com.
The following are the steps to create blog in Blogger:
Creating Email
Email is one condition to fulfill when you want to create a blog, so make sure that you have owned an Email. Since we want to create blog in Blogger.com, which is owned by Google, email from Google Mail (GMail) is highly recommended. See how to create email in Gmail at How to create email in Gmail.
Creating Blog in Blogger
- Please visit the site http://www.blogger.com
- Now, I suppose you have a Gmail email. Login to Blogger with your Gmail ID and Password.
- Click CREATE A BLOG
- Type the desired title of your blog and blog address. Remember! Be serious in naming your blog because it will be permanent (unless you use Custom Domain). If blog address is unavailable (has been used), try another one and so on. Click arrow-shaped button with the text “CONTINUE”.
- Choose the template you like most (it can be replaced in the future), and then click CONTINUE.
- The text “Your Blog has been created!” will appear. Continue by click START BLOGGING.
- When you enter the post editor, please write anything (suggested to create a post to avoid blog locking), e.g. Hello world. Click PREVIEW to view the display of your blog, or directly click PUBLISH POST if you want to publish it.
- Click “VIEW POST” to view your blog. See the example below:
- Done
