Getting Started

Creating your own blog. It’s really easy. The “blog” is short for weblog – basically on online diary. The blog is hosted on your own website, with your own URL.

First of all go to the edublogs website. You will see the page below.

Click on the “Free!” logo. It’s big and green. This will take you through the steps to creating your own free blog.

The next page looks like this:

Your Dashboard and Posting Content

And so on. It takes you through a few steps that are prompted, so all you have to do is follow the instructions. You don’t need an email address, but if you don’t, make sure you write down your password somewhere, because they won’t be able to send it to you if you forget.

When you finally get your own blog happening, you will need to add content through “posts”.

How Your Website Looks

This will be the most important part of the blog. This is what the viewer sees when they go to your website. Another important thing is to change the theme so your website looks different from the others. Go to “Themes” under the appearance tab.

Phew! Is that enough info for now? I think so. What your blog needs more than anything is time. Just get in there and play around with it. It won’t take you long to learn the ins and outs. Happy blogging!
