An example blog

This is an easy blog website to use!!! You can write stuff and add photos really simply. Like the one below, not my beetle but wish it was...


Have a go. You just create a user name and register like any other site. Once done you can just start writing. You just click on 'new blog' on the home screen and it will give you a new window. Here you can give the blog a name. This can be any name. You can also give it an address. This one I just set up is called http://fredsadventuresinmaldon.blogspot.co.uk/.  You can give this address to anyone who can save it as a favourite or bookmark it. You will notice some addresses are not available and it will automatically tell you when you have chosen one that is.

You can choose a theme as well. This just gives the page some pretty themed borders if you want it...

Once you have done that you get a basic word processing page, very much like when you compose an email. You know what you are looking at and it will all become very obvious. There are a couple of options in the buttons to add photos and videos. This just skips to an upload page where you can find the right photo on your computer (remember to save the photos in a proper labelled place so you can find them!!! on the desktop is a good place)

Once you are happy with what you have written you can click 'preview' at the top and it will show what the blog would look like to your readers. THis will open in a new page. If its not good then close the page and just carry on. When you are happy click publish. If you want to wait for more before you publish just save t and carry on later.

The site also lets you create and write as many blogs as you wish

Have fun and drop me an email with any questions.
