Step 1 — Make a Google Account

What to do:

Go to accounts.google.com and create a Google account (name, email, password).
Why: Blogger and AdSense are Google products. You need one Google account to log in.

Simple explanation of words:

Google account: a single key (email + password) you use to open a bunch of Google doors (Gmail, YouTube, Blogger, AdSense).

Email: your digital letter address so people and services can send you messages.
Password: secret code you mustn’t share.

Step 2 — Open Blogger

What to do:

Visit blogger.com and sign in with your Google account.

Click “Create new blog”.

Simple explanation:

Blogger: a free website tool from Google that helps you make a simple blog (a place on the internet to post articles).

Create new blog: press the + button to start a brand new blog.

Step 3 — Choose a Blog Name and Address (URL)

What to do:

• Pick a “Blog title” (the name shown to visitors).
• Pick a “Blog address” — this will be something like myblogname.blogspot.com (try to make it short, easy to spell).

Why: The title is what readers see; the address is how they find it.

Explaining words:

• Title: the name of your blog, like the name of a book.
• URL / Address: the blog’s internet home (like “house number” on the web).
