Hi, everyone.
I use Blogger because it's free and maybe the easiest blogging tool to use. There are lots of other tools, and you can look around and see what works best for you. But as a start, Blogger...
The one big hurdle is that you need some sort of Google account to use this. We found out that Lisa's Google+ works, while I just access this through my gmail.
One past that, go to blogger. Might look at that little square of squares in the upper right of your email, up by your name. Click on that and keep going till you find Blogger. Click on that.
When Blogger opens up, you have a few quick decisions. The hardest one, for me, it to name the new blog! Pick a name, and then in that address box underneath, type the name without spaces.
The other big decision--pick a template. There should be 7 or 8 immediate choices. This sets up where the writing space is, where other pieces appear, colors, all that. Pick one...
and then hit "Create Blog." And that's that...
Ok. In your blog, cruise around the buttons to see how it all works.
"New Post" lets you start writing, and has buttons to add pictures, links, videos, all sorts of things.
Layout lets you add "gadgets"--pictures, a place for followers, lots of stuff.
Settings does a lot of things, among them, letting you invite more people to write, and controlling who all gets to see your blog.
The rest is mostly you deciding what to write...
later, bob
