Want to Become a Blogger?

Do you want to start your own Blog?  Google's "blogger" site makes it super easy.  You can setup a blog in about 10 minutes.  Blogs are a great way to record your thoughts or create for your family.  A lot of our friends and us have a personal family blog that we share pictures of our kids as they start to grow along with their current activities/milestones.  Blogs are a great way to share your updates with family & friends especially those that are out of town.  Our Grandparents that live out of town love check the blog daily and feel like they've been right beside our girls as they've grown up.  Blogs also reduce the amount of individual emails you end up sending out to all your family with pictures attached or phone calls you receive to ask what's new.  During the first year of your babies life you barely have time for yourself and posting on a blog page is a 5 minute process and sends out those precious moments to your loved ones.  Of course Facebook or a social media site can do the same thing but our grandparents weren't on those social networking sites.  Try setting up a blog site and see if it will work for you.

Step 1: Create a Gmail Account (or sign-in on this page)
Step: 2: Pick a Blog Name that is not already being used
Step 3: Complete the Blog setup steps from #2 above
Step 4: Start Blogging with your 1st new Post
Step 5: Decide if you want to customize your blog under the "Design" tab

That's it.  Its really that easy. 
After you get started you can take some time to make some customizations to your site such as changing the background and using free templates from "The Cutest Blog on the Block".  Have fun & get creative!

You can also use Blog 2 Print to make a keepsake hardcover book of all your postings and memories!  We use this every 6 months to print our personal blog of our girls and its so great.  Its like a yearbook of memories to give them as they grow.
