Once you’ve picked your blog template, click on the orange arrow button to continue and your blog has been created and you can start blogging.

Creating a blogger account is quite easy. Maintaining it is a different thing. Blogger like WordPress are a 2.0 web that is available for free, so in general there can be no sweat creating a blog here. Anyway, thanks for the info, Dawn.

Creating them is the easy part we’ve got to make maintaining them easy now which can be done if you get into a routine.
Thanks for stopping by

Nice article Dawn. I believe blogger.com is by far the easiest method to blog for non-techies just wanting to get on with their blog without learning all the technical jargon, however, if one takes a small amount of time to learn wordpress it is well worth the small effort. Either way, as you say, creating the blog is the easy part, maintaining it regularly takes effort and commitment (certainly helps if you love what you blog about) but is pretty easy to get into a routine of one post ewery sunday routine. All the best.

Hi Lucus
Totally agree there. If you want a quick blog up and running without having to learn the techy stuff then Blogger is the one. Its also worth creating a blogger blog to get links back to your main site too so they definitely come in handy.
