Hello and welcome to this tutorial about startning your own blog. It's made mostly for people that are starting a blog, but the ones who have can also read it and find some unsefull content. So, here it is:
Step 1
First thing you have to do is visit blogger.com in your browser. There, click on a big orange button that says 'Crate your blog', cause that's what we want to do. The page will reload and you will see the first step of making your own blog - 'Create a Google account'. If you have a Google acocunt, you can skip the step by clicking 'Sign in first' (shown in the picture below).
After the page reloads, type your e-mail address and password and then logg in.
Step 2
It's time to choose your blog's name and domain. Your blog's name can be any, but the domain can't. Probably the first 5-10 domains you want for your blog are already taken, so it's not to easy to think of a good domain that can be used. You can feel real lucky if the domain you want is free to use. When you're done, click Continue.
Step 3
I'm sure you will have fun on the step 3 - now it's time to choose your template. Don't think "Oh my god, what if I choose a wrong template?!?", because you can change it later anyway. If you are looking to make a seriouse blog, it's not a good idea to choose one of those standard templates. You want to make your blog more unique, so choose better template please :). Click continue. You will get a confirmation that your blog has been made, and you can start blogging.
Step 4
Again I say that it depends on how serious do you want your blog to be, but I suggest you to make a logo and make a favicon . And choose a better template as I said in the third step. Next, write a few posts. Probably you want see any comments in a few days (never, actually), unless you start getting traffic, which isn't very easy unfortunately. But more about that next time.
Have you noticed that some web sites have contact form (like mine - click contact on this blog and you will see)? Well you don't have to be a programmer to do that. All you need is this tutorial :)
Step 1
Open this page in your web browser and make an account. You can choose many options, but if you don't wanna pay you can choose the free version (that's what i did).
Step 2
The second step depends on what you want to do, but I will tell you how I did my contact form. So, I started by clicking the Name button. That's how I added name field. Then I pressed Web Site button to add web site field. I did the same for E-mail and Paragraph text.
Step 3
When you're done with the second step, press 'Save Form' on the bottom of the page. A new window will open. Click 'Setup E-mail notifications for this form'.
Step 4
In the 'To mi Inbox' box fill the 'Your E-mail address' form by writing in your e.mail address. Click save, and then click 'Forms' button on the top of the page.
Step 5
There should be a box that contains some options for your contact form. Click 'Code'.
Step 6
On the left side, click 'Embed Form Code', and copy the iframe Version. Paste it on your blog wherever you want it to be and you're done!
