3. You’ll need to set up a Google Account to use Blogger - follow the instructions and click ‘continue.’

6. Select a style that appeals to you.
7. Bookmark the Blogger start page, as well as the URL for your blog.

9. Write a blog post. You can write about anything that you would be interested in other people reading. If you thought of a theme for your blog in the previous assignment, write something for that theme. You could also write about what you think of blogging so far.

To get back to your blog, to add future postings:

1. Go to your blog
