Subject: Get a Free Blog From This Trusted Source

Dear {!firstname_fix},

Over the past few years, blogs have become incredibly popular.
Just about everyone who uses the internet also has a blog. You
want to get in on the action, but you're not sure how to get
your own blog.

Luckily for you, sites like Blogger.com have made it easy to
set-up and make posts on a blog. In this newsletter, we will go
over everything from signing up for a blog on Blogger.com to
choosing a template (look) to finally making a first post. 

What is Blogger.com?

Simply put, Blogger.com is a site that hosts blogs for free.
This makes it even easier for you to have a blog because there
is no need to set up a web site and host the blog yourself. All
you have to do on Blogger.com, once you've signed up, is login
to your blog, write a blog post and click submit. Its that
simple.

What will my web address be on Blogger.com?

Your web address will be http://yourname.blogspot.com. One thing
that people dislike about Blogger and other free blog sites is
that they dont have as great of a freedom in choosing a name.
You are limited to choosing only what is available. So if youre
looking for http://yankeesfan.blogspot.com, you probably wont
be able to find that.

Signing up for a blog on Blogger

The first thing youll do is go to blogger.com. Next, youll
scroll down the page and click on the button labeled Create
Your Blog Now. 

You will then be taken to a page where you will enter an email
address(used to log into your blog), a password, and a word
verification. Youll also have to check I Accept Terms of
Service. Click continue.

Next, you will be taken to a page where you will choose the blog
title, blog address, and another word verification(which is done
to prevent auto-signups). When you type in your blog address,
you can click a link that says check availability. This will
tell you whether or not the desired name is available. If the
first name you wish to have is not available, keep typing in
different variations of the name until you find one that is
available.

After you have put in all the information, click Continue.

Choosing a Template

After you click Continue, youll be asked to choose a
template. The template can be changed at any time after you
sign-up for the blog, so you dont have to choose an official
template now. 

If you scroll down, youll see a variety of different templates.
Click on the one that you like best and then click Continue.

Your First Blog Post

After youve chosen a template, youll see that your blog has
been created and that there is a button to Start Posting.
Click that button.

Youll be taken to a page that is similar to the posting page at
a message board. There is a Title field, where you can put in
the title of this particular blog posting. Then there is a
bigger field, which is the body of your post. Type all you want
in this Body field, as there is no limit. 

Note that there are options above the field to bold, italicize,
underline or spell check the text. There is also the option of
changing the size and color of the text, plus the ability to add
bullet points, numbered lists and even pictures. For now, youll
just do a simple Welcome post.

In the Title field, type Welcome! In the Body field, type
your message. You could start with a simple introduction,
talking about yourself and the purpose of the blog. When youre
done typing the message, click the Publish button. It is worth
noting that you can choose to save the post as a draft, if you
want to go back and later finish the post.

After youve clicked Publish, youll see that your blog has
been published successfully. Click the View Blog link to view
the results of your work. Youll now see your post.

Logging into Blogger after the first post

Youll go to Blogger.com and click on the Old Blogger link at
the top right of the page. Type in the email address and
password that you signed up with.  Youll be taken to the
Dashboard of your blog. If you want to enter a new post on
your blog, click New Post. Then follow the instructions
mentioned in the previous section. Or if you want to edit the
template, add/edit elements to your page, youll click
Settings and then Template. 

Thats all there is to it. Blogs, whether they are hosted at
blogger.com or another free blog site, are incredibly useful and
fun.
