Posting to Your Blog

You will have to be logged in to Blogger to post. 

• Go to http://www.blogger.com/
• On the right side of the screen, use your email and password to log in.

After you have logged in, you will see a screen that looks like this:

This is called the 'Dashboard'. 

 Anytime you want to see this page from your blog, look to the top right hand corner.  Depending on which screen you are on it will either have "Dashboard" or if it looks like the shot below you can click on 'Design' and then in the new window click Dashboard. 

Now back to the Dashboard.  You will want to click on the blue box that says "New Post".  It will open up a screen similar to this one:

 Notice there are tabs across  the top that read "Posting", "Comments", "Settings" etc, We will be using the one that says "Posting".  If your screen doesn't look like the one above, just click on the "Posting" tab. 

Type in the title of your post. (Visit to Grandma's, Dishes in the Oven, whatever your post will be about)

Then click in the large box below the title.  This is where you type the information for your blog.  Across the top of this box you will see different tools you can use.  If you put your cursor over each item (but don't click) the name of each button will show.  They are mostly simple to understand and use, you can change the type font, the type size (your choices are small, normal, large, largest - pretty simple), you can choose to center or left align your type, add photos or video or even add a bullet list.

When you finish typing,  click "Publish Post". (orange box at the bottom)

Congratulations, you are a blogger!
