How to Start Your Own Blog

We will be using blogger.com for your final project. Below are the directions for starting a blog.

Part 1: Starting the Blog

1. 1 member of your group goes to blogger.com
2. Blogger will either prompt you to open a gmail account or log on using your existing gmail account. You might want to choose a group member with an existing account for this reason.
3. Blogger will prompt you to name your blog, create a URL, and choose from some design templates. It would be wise if you chose a URL that is easy to remember and relates to your project.

Part 2: Adding your group members.

Adding group members is kind of tricky on blogger. This is how I do it:

1. Click on "New Post" in the upper right hand corner.
2. Click on settings
3. Click on permissions
4. Enter the email addresses of your group members. Give them author privileges.
5. Now, each member must go to his or her email and accept your request to join the blog. Once this step is complete, every member of your group can contribute to your blog.
