Blogger Knowhow - Getting Started with Blogger

    

Hello. This post is a bit of an introduction on getting started with Blogger.  Blogger has many nice features, such as the Google Plus +1 for social sharing.

Blogger has a new design and layout now, but if you ever wish to use the "old Blogger" you can follow this link to do so. Some people prefer the gadgets and visuals of the original design.

Now, in getting started with blogger, here is a good introduction (a video). The instructor speaks nice and slowly, and goes over each step at a nice pace for beginners. Anthony does a nice job here, and covers the basics - such as the ROW of Icons at the top of the editor.


A Very Helpful Resource for You: Beginners Guide to Blogger    by Jan Ashby



At dummies.com, there are pictures (Screenshots) which help you in getting started. At this first reference I'll send you to, basics such as formatting your post (fonts, etc.) and other tips (your control panel, logging in e.g.) are elaborated upon.

The 2nd article is also from dummies.com  - it is "How to Get Started with Google's Blogger" and not only has a nice intro on "Creating an account" and how to go about that, but also discusses Naming Your Blog and "Choosing a Template".

What's cool is at the bottom of the post, there are hyperlinks to many additional helps.  I recommend THIS one - which will show you how to add images, how to add links and so on..

And if you ever need to add an image from another website, this brief tutorial shows you how.

Plus, there are other choices you have to make (such as determining whether readers can POST comments) - that would be found here
