How to Create A Blog with
Blogger.Com

If you don't have a person gmail account (must not be your education gmail, such as University of Minnesota gmail account), go ahead and create new gmail account now. It's important that you don't use your official education account as it doesn't have all the features that personal gmail accounts do.
IMPORTANT: When you use your personal gmail account and your personal blog, you should use a different browser than the one that you use for your official education/university gmail, otherwise this causes problems. e.g. I use Firefox for my
University of MN gmail, and Chrome for my personal gmail and personal blog.
Once you have created a personal gmail account, link to the https://blogger.com/start website
Click on the orange arrow that says "create your blog now."
On the "Create a
Google Account" screen enter in the information required, namely:
Enter your personal
gmail email address, which should be the one that you want to use to be paired with your blog that you are going to create [must not be your official education one. You'll have to retype your email address in the second box.
