Blogger Introduction and Lesson 1

Computer Assisted Language Learning
Blogger Tutorial


       Tutorials



While there are many, many blogging applications out there, I think that the easiest
by far is Blogger.  I personally use Blogger, in some form, for the 4 blogs that I
currently run.  Even if you decide to go elsewhere after this class, using Blogger
and getting used to Blog-speak will prepare you well for the next application you
use.

This tutorial goes over the basics that you need to utilize Blogger for the
requirements in this course.  I’ll start with registration, then go over set up options
and lastly the commenting feature.

Registration

Blogger makes getting started REALLY simple.  The set up hardly needs explanation
(but I will anyway).

1.   Go to http://www.blogger.com
2.   You will see the Blogger homepage



3.   Click on the “CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW” button to begin.

4.   You will then see the “Create an account” page. 
5.   Fill out the information and click on the “CONTINUE” button.

6.   You will then see the “Name your blog” page.
7.   this is an important page because this is where you first set your online
identity.  A title and address are very important.  You want to choose ones
that mean something to you and are easy for others to associate with your
blog.

8.   You’ll also notice the “Word Verification”.  This is a picture of a series of
numbers and letters.  Computers have a difficult, if not impossible time
“reading” these sets of numbers.  Therefore this is a security step that
assures that computers aren’t being used to register accounts and clogging
up the Blogger system.  You’ll also see these when posting comments to
people’s blog posts.  This is to make sure that spammers can’t post
comments on your blog.

9.   Fill out the information on this page and click on the “CONTINUE” button.
