How Can I Get a Blog?

If you are thinking about starting a blog, I know there are obvious questions that are going inside your mind right now. One of the commonly asked question by upcoming bloggers is; How Can I get a blog or where can I get a  blog?  This question may seems very obvious to those of you who already have knowledge in blogging but for an inspiring new blogger, it may be very difficult to even know where to start.
 
So, this post is meant to help those new comers in knowing where and how they can get a  free blog like the one that I am using for free.
 
First, you will have to think whether you want a free hosted blog or your own domain. You can read my previous post on tips on selecting a web hosting.  Read also the cons and pros of having a free hosted blog and having your own domain.
 
In this post, I will discuss about how you can get a free hosted blog. You will need to have an existing gmail account but if you do not have one, you can simpy create one.  You will use the same email to login to Google Blogspot.
 
After you have created your gmail account, go  to www.blogger.com/ and login.  You will be taken to blogger welcome page.

 
 
 
Choose your language  and confirm your profile by selecting whether you profile should be displayed as either Google+ profile or Blogger profile. If you choose blogger profile,  you will be required to fill in a new user name.
 
 
 
 
Then click  on continue to blogger.  You will be take to your dashboard where you can start creating your blog.  On the left side of the page, click on New blog.
 
 
Fill in the title, address (eg titotito.blogspot.com) and select a template among the list of the given templates. Finally, click on create blog.



 
You now have your free blog where you can start writing about any topic that you enjoy or  topics on the area of your expertise. That is all that you require to get your own blog. One thing for sure, starting a blog is very easy but maintaining it with quality contents is one of the hardest thing that most bloggers face. 
 
You will also need to have some basic knowledge on SEO to make sure that your blog rank  well for the keyword of your choice. There is plenty of SEO tips that you can find in this blog.
