How to create a blog
To create a new blog, you must have a blogger account. If you don't have one, start here:
FIRST: Go to blogger.com and click "create your blog now." Type your email address and a new password, your display name (this is the name that will show up when you post: pick something fun that doesn't include your name, street, age, etc.), fill in the word verification box, and check terms of service box. Click the orange continue arrow at the bottom.
NEXT: Type a name for your blog, then, in the blog address box type the words you want to have as the internet address for your blog (i.e. the name of your blog with no spaces, sheffiesscienceblog, 01lightning10, etc. -you may have to be creative, because there are tons of blogs out there, and each one needs a unique address). Click the orange continue arrow at the bottom.
THEN: Choose a template for how you want your blog to look (you can change it later) and click Continue.
You now have a blog! Click "Start Blogging", and start filling in your blog.
