This post covers some other aspects of what we did in class October 8, 2009.
Besides creating an
email account with Google, we also signed up with
Google's service called "Blogger," to create our own
blogs. (To review how to log in to your Google email account, scroll down and read the previous post
"Email and Blog Review - Part 1." )
We practiced getting to our blogs, selecting a blog style from the
templates they provide, writing our first
post and
publishing it onto our blog, as well as
uploading a picture to publish onto our blog. It was a fun class!
Now here are step by step instructions on how to get to and
log-in to our blogs...
Getting to and logging in to your blog with Blogger...
...if you are already logged in to your Google email account (Gmail):
1.) Type in the word "Blogger" in the Google
search bar directly
above your email
Inbox.
Left-click the "search the web" button (the
second button) next to the search bar.
2.) At the Google search results page,
left-click the
top blue link that says "
Blogger: Create your free blog"
.
3.) At the Blogger sign-in page, type in your
Gmail password (your
username will already be filled in if you
already logged in to Gmail). Hit "enter" on your keyboard.
4.) This will take you to your blog "
Dashboard." It's where you can get to all the editing features of your blog. To view your blog,
left-click the
blue words "
View Blog,"
under your blog title.
Getting to and logging in to your blog with Blogger...
...if you have not already logged in to your Google email account (Gmail):

address bar at the top of the
web browser. Hit "enter" on your keyboard.
2.) At the Google
search engine, type the word "blogger" in the
search bar in the center of the page. Hit "enter" on your keyboard.
3. At the Google
search results page,
left-click on the
blue link that says, "
Blogger: Create your free blog" at the
top of the list of results.
4. At the Blogger
sign in page,
type in your
Google account username and password (it's the same one you use to log in to your Gmail). Hit "enter" on your keyboard.
5. This will take you to your blog "
Dashboard." It's where you can get to all the editing features of your blog. To view your blog,
left-click the
blue words "
View Blog,"
under your blog title.
Remember, when in doubt, you can always left-click the Blogger logo (in the upper left corner of you blog) to get back to your Dashboard!
My next post will include some instructions for editing your blog, and a brief outline of our next class!
Au revoir!
