Blogging - New Blog

Now After reading the post "Start a Blog", read further.

After you have decided the field of your blog, now you have to select a platform for your blog.


I had gone through many blogs on this topic and most of them says your domain must be paid and not free.

But for a new comer, free domains are good, not because they are free, but using them without knowing A,B,C,D of html codes, is quiet easy.

"Blogger.com" is such a free platform for blogging. There are others like wordpress.com, sulekha.com, ibibo.com,bigadda.com (Amitabh Bacchan fame) etc. etc.


I prefer blogger.com. As we progress, you will come to know why I preferred it.

First of all create an email account with google.com (If you have already one a/c it will do, you need not create another account).

Now go to blogger.com

Log on with your Google - Email Account. Name your blog and proceed as per instruction.

Now say you have chosen name of your blog as "xyz", then the web address for your blog will be "http://www.xyz.blogspot.com" e.g. I had chosen the name as "IndInformation", then the web address of my blog is "http://www.IndInformation.blogspot.com" i.e. this blog.

When a visitor types the address in his browser's address bar, then the last post of your blog will be displayed as home page or Index page, and then can navigate to other posts as links from the Index page.

Now you have to pick a template. When you start, pick the template from blogger.com itself, as trying templates from other sites may trouble you. This template you can change as many time as you want. But I will suggest to change it when your posts are less, because it truncates some part if it doesn't set to the size of the new template.

After doing this, you are ready to write first post of your blog.
