First, you are going to need a Google account. So go to www.gmail.com and create an account. Next go to www.blogger.com to get started. Sign in using your newly created Google account. Click make new blog. Then, you can start to name your blog, etc. Try to make the name simple, so that people don't have to type a lot of words in. Abbreviation helps a lot in this category. For example: Maddies Think A Thought can be cut down into: www.mtat.blogspot.com. This shortcut saves people a lot of time. You are given a choice of what you want your blog's name to appear as on the blog, so abbreviation does not make the name seem weird.
After you choose your type of blog, hit design. It will let you personalize your website to your perfection. You can choose different backgrounds for your website, and different fonts too. You can choose what color you want your site to be, and what color you want the writing and background to be. Try to make the colors coordinate and that the text size and color is readable, or else people may have a tough time reading your website.
Make sure you have a good thought in mind before starting. The whole world can see your website when you start it at first. This can be changed from the settings tab, but you should still know what you will want to write on. There is a section of blogger where you can add advertisements. Though Maddies Think A Thought does not use this feature, it is an easy way to earn some cash.
Ok, you are now set to start blogging! I hope that your website is successful as mine is. It's quite easy to do when you get used to it. You can even have more than one website! I hope this introduction helped. Good luck!
