Need More Help With AdSense?

One of the best things about Google is that they assume everyone
needs some clear helpful explanations and easy to navigate help
pages. They have done an excellent job of creating their “Help” pages
with regard to AdSense. Reading the help screens in AdSense can
help you to get the most out of the program with your blog. It is well
worth taking some time to familiarize yourself with these pages and
the information contained within them.

Posting a Message

If you click on the Posting tab you will be brought to the screen where
you will be able to post messages, edit messages and moderate
comments on your blog. If you wish to make a post on your blog
simply click on the “Posting” tab and you will be taken to the “Create
Post” screen below:



























To post a message on your new blog, simply type a title and the text
of your post, just like you would if you were sending someone an e-
mail message.


When you are finished with your post, you can either click on the blue
“Save as Draft” button or “Publish” your post to your blog for everyone
who visits your blog to see. If you make an error in your post, even
after you have published it, simply go to “Edit Posts” here on this
screen. Here you can make your changes and re-publish your blog.


Blogger gives you the option of moderating comments on your blog as
well. This means that you can restrict who can comment on your blog.
You can allow comments to be added to your blog by anonymous
visitors or only those registered with Blogger. You can also turn on
word verification to insure a comment on your blog was typed in by a
visitor to your specific blog. You also have the option of manually
approving any comments on your blog before they are posted for the
whole world to see. This can be helpful if you have someone
spamming your blog with their comments or posting something
offensive in the comments section of your blog.

Blogger Set-Up, Step 1 – Create an Account

To create your own free blog on Blogger, you will need to complete
just three easy steps. The first is to create a Blogger/Google account.
To create your Blogger account simply fill in the requested information
with an existing e-mail address, a password of your choice, a display
name of your choice, enter the word verification, and check the box
showing that you understand and accept the Blogger “Terms of
Service” legal information. (Yes, you should read the Terms of
Service!)

The word verification on Blogger is simply to insure that actual people
are signing up for Blogger web space and not having software do it for
them. Word verification just simply a security feature that Google
uses on Blogger to try and keep its website safe from spam and other
inappropriate usages.


Once you have entered all of the requested information on the “Create
an Account” screen, click on the orange “Continue” button. This will
take you to the second step in creating your blog; the “Name Your
Blog” screen.

Setting Up a Blog Using Google’s Blogger

Blogger. Blogger is a free blog service offered by Google and is
extremely high quality and very easy to use. By setting up a blog on
Blogger you do not need to have any HTML or web designer skills what
so ever. Blogger offers standard templates, and because of these
great templates, it is as easy to use Blogger as most e-mail
applications. If you have learned to
e-mail, then you can learn to blog!

From this main screen of Blogger click on the large orange arrow which
says “Create Your Blog Now.” This will take you to the first step in
creating your blog; the “Create an Account” screen.
