Google account
To setup a blog using Blogger, an account with Google is required. The simplest method is to create an e-mail account with Google which is commonly referred to as a Gmail account. All of Google’s email addresses end in “gmail.com” for Google mail. The email address does not have to match the purpose or niche of the blog as you can pick blog title later. Keep in mind to select an email address that is easy to spell and understand.
First Blog using Blogger
After a successfully, completing this process, login to Blogger to setup the blog. It should be noted that you can have multiple blogs with just one email account. Isn’t that great? Best of all, it’s free!!! The demo will guide you through the process step-by-step. Enjoy and send me some links to your blog.
