Step 0. Open a second tab to use when following the instructions below (just click the blank square beside the X in the red circle). Now you can click back and forth between the two tabs without losing your place on this blog.Step # 1. Create a Google account. If you have one, go to step 2. If you don't, you really
should get one, even if you don't plan to start a blog. Google has so many services available for free that you can access (I've only really discovered the tip of the iceberg). Google uses your email address as your username so you will never forget it--clever, huh?
Step # 2. Once you are signed in (your email will appear just like in the photo), type "blogger.com" into the address bar in your internet browser.
Select "Create a Blog" to make your own (Don't be afraid to mess around, you can delete it when we're done).
Once you have given your blog a title, a web address and chosen a template you are ready to put up your first post. After you have entered a few wise words you can SAVE NOW (which will NOT put your blog into cyberspace) or PUBLISH POST which will make your entry available worldwide.
You can also email ewcwriter@live.ca (don't use this link--it won't work) using your Google ID account and ask to be added to the Stamford PD blog. Now it will show up on your dashboard. You can also invite me to join your blog so that it will show up on my dashboard and I will be able add posts and leave comments.
Just click on the SETTINGS tab when you are in your blog and then either COMMENTS or PERMISSIONS to adjust your privacy settings.
