2. Pick Your Blog Topic and Name

Before you jump in, ask yourself:

• What topics do I care about or know something about?

• Who might want to read what I write?

• What name feels like “me”?

Don’t overthink it—choose something you feel excited to write about.

3. Sign In and Create Your Blogger Account

Grab your Gmail account and go to blogger.com.

Click “Create Your Blog” and sign in with your Google account.

Steps you’ll follow:

• Enter your blog name and address (URL)

• Choose a free template (you can always change it later)

That’s it—you’ve created your blog!

4. Customize Your Blog Design

Make your blog feel personal and welcoming:

• Choose a simple, clean template (Blogger has good free options)

• Add an About page so visitors know who you are

• Add a Contact or Privacy Policy page to gain trust

• Set up a navigation menu using Labels to organize posts

These small changes make your blog look polished and professional from day one.

5. Write Your First Blog Post

• Click New Post in the dashboard and start typing.

Here’s a simple format to follow:

• Title: Catchy & clear (e.g. “How I Started My First Blogger Blog”)
