Create a blog to easily & frequently post new material to the web

By creating a blog at Google’s blogspot, you will be able to easily and frequently post new material to the web. A major advantage to using Google’s blogspot (“blogger”) rather than any other blog is that it seems that your content uploaded to blogspot is nearly instantly indexed for Google search results. By comparison, Google does not instantaneously list new websites, it may take a while until Google’s “bots” crawl through a link to your new site to index it.

To begin, go to:
https://www.blogger.com/start

and click on the orange arrow that says, “Create your blog now.”

Sign up with your email address, and choose a username, and a blog name.
for instructions on choosing a good name, the same basic guidelines apply as when choosing a domain name, which you can see at:
http://danshaw.com/pdfs/web-business-basics-danshaw.pdf:

“You have a name you don’t have to spell, which is about 15 characters or less, without any dashes or underscores, is memorable, describes what you do, and is broad and narrow enough to help your search engine standings”

Choose a password, NOT one that you use for other, more secure sites, such as bank accounts or email.
You can generate a truly random password by going to:
https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

Choose any string of characters from the third row. It’s best to use 7 or more characters.
