Okay - So let's just jump into Blogger.


I wanted to post a comment on a friends blogger blog, so I clicked on the link and it said I must register.... sucks, but okay. In registering, I signed up for / created a blog..... !

(It's like James Miller used to say: Pretty soon they'll give 'em away in a box of Cracker Jacks)

So this evening I'm working on setting up a Blogger Blog.


If you want a little history - Wikipedia style! - Read through this article if you want some background

- OR -

If you want to start a blog

(and you tired of just reading about them all the damn time, constantly without stopping, like blog blog blog, blog this blog that blog you you blogging bloggy blogger )

follow this link go on to the next message to jump right in to Blogger.

Okay

http://www.blogger.com/start takes us to the start page. It's says start a blog in three easy steps... (start at step one?)

Let's start at Step one...Create an account. You have to click on the arrow and not the graphics of the steps. .... Nothing difficult here and yes I blindly accept your terms (I guess I'll never be a military genius)

Okay ... Step two
Blog title... what's that? It shows up on the blog put (I think you can change it later) <you can under the settings>>basic tab >

dang! nothing worked for a name: allmypeople, freakflagflyin, clique, crew, gobstopper, .... finally clique138... whatever, it doesn't matter. <and you can change it under the settings>>publish tab >

Step THREEE!
choose a template.... it can also change under template>>pick new


After the last page... It's start posting...


....


Until the next installment -

have fun,
nsl

One more thing - you may have to post and publish a post before you can view the blog.... it's just something that has to happen.

Anyway... Here are some more tutorials to get you started. Or if you had problems
