How to set up a blog

In this step by step guide of how to set up a blog I’m going to use the site Blogger.

 

Firstly to start using Blogger you will need to either sign into your Google account or sign up to create your own account.

 

Once you’ve signed in or signed up to your account you need to click on the ‘New Blog’ button to start up your own blog.

After clicking on the ‘New Blog’ button, a pop up window will then appear. Here it will ask you to give your blog a title and web address for people to find it. You will also be able to choose a template which you think will suit your blog. After you’ve completed these details you then press the ‘Create blog!’ button.

This is the screen which will come up after you completed the pop up window section. This is just a complete overview of your blog. To start creating posts for your blog you need to click on the pencil image in the top left corner next to the Blogger logo.         

 

 

Creating a blog is useful for students in many ways; it helps convey important information for different subjects they take. For example if a student creates an ICT blog they can post work on there for the teacher to view instead of handing work in. Also just like I’ve done with a step by step guide of how to create your own blog you can create these types of posts for anything to help others learn. This is also a more interesting way of doing homework and you can also get instant feedback from teachers through the comment section. The subjects which this is most useful for is ICT and media as you can post videos on here as well.
