Tutorial three, setting up a blog

What is a blog: A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Your blog is what ever you want it to be. They come however the person wants them to be in and shape, colour, size and there are no particular rules. It is where you write stuff on an ongoing basis, other people can read them and comment on your posts. A blog offers a chance to connect with people, hearing from people who have read you post, you have the choice whether you want just a few friends to view you blog or anyone who is interested.
On blog you can do:
Blogger Comments let anyone, anywhere, offer feedback on your posts. You can choose whether you want to allow comments on a post-by-post basis, and you can delete any comments you don't like.
Access Controls let you decide who can read and who can write to your blog. You can use a group blog with multiple authors as an excellent communication tool for small teams, families and other groups. Or as a single author, you can create a private online space for collecting news, links, and ideas, to keep to yourself or share with as many readers as you want.
Blogger Profiles let you find people and blogs that share your interests. Your Blogger Profile, where you can list your blogs, your interests, and more, lets people find you (but only if you want to be found).
There are many different options when you are designing you blog, you can choose your own template, customise colours and fonts, and also choose where about on the page you want your posts to sit or anything extra. You are able to past photos onto blogger
