"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to create a blog at web site. We're going to use a site called a blog spot which is created by Google to oure simple little blog. Let's go to our computer and just go to www.blogspot.com. Now this is Googles blog engine. It's very easy to sign up for, it's also free. Let's just click on creative blog. And so now we're going to type in our email address, retype it because it's what we use to log in to the website. And they want to verify that we've typed it correctly. Now let's do the same thing for our password. It's good to use a strong password which is a combination of numbers and letters and maybe a symbol or two. Now we want to say what we want to call it. I'm going to call this Dave's Programming Web Log. or Blog. And now the part that I always mess up, we have to type in this word exactly as they have written. I think that's correct. I'm going to accept their terms of service. I recommend you skim over that a little bit and understand what you can post and what you can't post. So now that you've logged in to fill out that form, you basically have to click, create your blog now. Let's give it a name. And let's give it a link. Dave's Programming Blog, check availability. It's available and we want to continue. Now let's choose a template. I'm going to go with the minimal black version. The blog is created. Let's click start blogging. As you could see you have your nice little HTML text editor and just create a simple little entry here, say publish and once your entry is published, let's just click, view blog. There is Dave's Programming Blog. My Name's Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to create a blog website."
