How to Setup a Blog?

There is a lot of free blogs on the web that you can choose, but the one in blogger.com is a bit different. It allows you to paste your own AdSense ads here and make money from it. Why don't we take a ride and open a free blog account in blogger.com?

The application is very simple and consists of three steps:

1. Choose a blog name you like:You can choose a nice sub-domain for your blog. Just pick up one name that best describe your site. Also, it should be easily memorable to visitors. Apart from that, if you have your own domain or subdomain, you can also use your own domain to replace the one in blogger.com. In my case, I choose www.quomodocunquize.blogspot.com my blog URL. In the new verison of blogger, you may even apply a new domain name and then host this domain at Google server at dns.google.com. In this way, you can have an unique domain name like mine, and no need to apply for a web hosting service which is a bit expensive.

2. Provide your personal informationThis step is also easy. Similar to other online services you apply, just prvoide blogger.com your name, email address etc. All the information are kept confidential, and no need to worry about the junk mails that may send to your email address.

3. Pick up a templateAmong a series of templates, just choose the one you love. Pick a wrong one? No worry, you can change this template whenever you want. Apart from those free templates provided in blogger.com, you can also find other blogger templates in other websites. You may even pick up a three-column template like mine. If you are a HTML savvy, you can also make your own unique template.
