Creating your own Blogger journal

Having a journal is a great way to express yourself on topics that are interesting to you.  A journal is also a great way to practice writing.

To create your journal first, go to blogger.com and sign up for a free account (if doing this at home, please have your parents assist with this).  You can design your journal however you like, but it must include the following:

1. A title
2. An about me section
3. At least one post.
4. a background theme of your choosing 

Once you have your blog designed, you are ready for your first post.  To create your first post hit the "New Post" button under the post links (see image below)

New post button shows at the top of the page

Once you click new post a text editor similar to Microsoft Word will open up, give your post a title and write a minimum of 50 words within the text editor section on the topic you chose.  As we will be doing this together, please raise your hand if you have any issues or need assistance.
