Blogger Set-Up, Step 2 – Name Your Blog

On the “Name Your Blog” screen you will enter a blog title, a unique
Blogger URL address for your blog, and once again enter the word
verification.


Naming your blog well can be an important part of having a successful
and income generating blog. It is a good idea to name your blog
something memorable and in tune with the content your blog will
contain. Rather than name your blog “Jane’s Blog,” try to name it
something people surfing the web will remember and look for again in
the future.


If you are name is “Jane,” and you will be blogging primarily about
knitting, then your blog might have the title “Jane the Master Knitter”
or something similar. Feel free to use your imagination and have fun

with your blog name, but try and keep it both short and easy to
remember.


Each blog on Blogger has a unique URL which looks like this:
http://www.___.blogspot.com


Blogger allows you to enter the word(s) to fill the blank space before
the word “blogspot” in the URL. Just as important as the name of your
blog, what you choose to enter here for the URL will help others to find
your blog online. It is always best to stick to only a few words and
make the URL similar to your blog title. For the example above
something like this would work well:
http://www.adsense.blogspot.com


while http://www.adsense.blogspot.com gets a bit long to
remember and type so it is probably not ideal to use.


The “Name Your Blog” screen of Blogger looks like this:
Once you are satisfied with your new blog’s title, unique Blogger URL,
and have entered the word verification, click on the orange “Continue”
button. This takes you to the third step in creating your blog; the
“Choose a Template” screen.
