Steps Two & Three - starting your blog on Blogger and emailing the info

There are many blogging services available but for the OCL Branch Manager Challenge, you must have a blog created using Blogger. This is easy to do with your Gmail account. You will be using your Gmail account and password to sign in and create your blog.
Creating a blog using Blogger takes just three steps:

1. Create an account

.
2. Name your blog
.
3. Select your template.

Once you’ve created your blog site, here are some important things to know:

To add posts about your progress in the challenge:

You'll will go to http://www.blogger.com/ to log in and enter your posts.

To view your blog: Your blog address is http://(xxxx).blogspot.com/,

(xxxx)=the unique name you entered in Step 2.

Be sure to also write down your blog address (and email the address information to your work Outlook as a backup!).

Finally, email your Gmail address and the address of your blog to the challenge's email. To avoid spam that address will not be posted on this blog. The address was given out at the October Branch Managers meeting and will be emailed to every Branch Manager directly.
