Click the TAKE A QUICK TOUR button and go
through all the screens that explain about a blog.
Or, go to:

information, click CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW.
Enter the data required in the Create an

your blog. Your "Display Name" is the name that will be shown on the blog as
the author of the material on the blog (I used
LP).
Click the Continue arrow and then enter your
"Blog title" and "Blog address". These are the names and addresses everyone will
use to view your blog. (I used "LP Water Cooler"
as my Blog title,
and http://lp-watercooler.blogspot.com/
as my Blog address. The http:// and .blogspot.com/ is the
default, you cannot change those
parts.)
Click the Continue arrow to display the
Choose a template screen.
Choose a template for your blog and then
click the Continue arrow.
Your blog will be created for you! When you
see the "Your blog has been created" screen, click the Start posting arrow.
(Make a note of your blog's Web address.)
From the screen that is displayed, you can
post items for your blog, specify settings, change the template, and view
your blog.
When you have posted all your information,
click the Sign out button at the top right of the screen. You will be logged
out.
To edit your blog and add or change
information on it, visit the Blogger home page (www.blogger.com) and sign in by entering your
username and password. You will be able to edit and/or post to your blog.
Others can view your blog by entering its address in the browser's address box.
Congratulations! You have created your blog!
