A blog is an online diary or as some people call
them a weblog. They can be about any topic you would like to comment on.
Setting up a blog can seem to be a very difficult
task for the non techie type out there. They(the techie types) talk
about MYSQL, PHP and you need a reader to read a blog in. Then they say
u gotta ping the blog.
Is that a new mixed drink or something ?
We talk to our children and they look at us as if
we come from another planet.
All I want to do is blog.
My Dad being basically computer illiterate a short
time ago. HMM I still think he is but I wont say it to often in this
house.
I wrote these instructions for him and he had had
no major problems setting up a blog.
The easiest way to start a blog in my opinion and
you may wish to differ ;-) are detaled in the following steps:
You will need a reader to read the blog you make
or someone elses that you subscribe to.
The 1st step is an easy way to get a reader that
allows rss feeds to be pulled to your My page.
1. Go to www.yahoo.com and create a my yahoo page.
If you have one already go to step 2.
2. Find a free blogging service. I reccomend
www.blogger.com. They have simple and easy to follow instructions, even
Dad could follow them ). Now follow the instructions on the start page.
Take your time and make sure you read the instructions. Do Not speed
read them like Dad usually will do .
WOW Great job!!! Pat your self on the back.
Congratulations you have now created a blog.
3. Now open up the create new post in your new
blog and write new post. Now publish it.
Now your a blogger
4. Now go back to www.yahoo.com and sign in to
your "MY" account.
5. Now go to add content to your front page, upper
left corner of your start page.Now click on RSS Headlines.
Now copy this and paste this url in The Add New Sources box on this
page.

6. Now check Sources to add. This will ad the feed
to your MY page.
7. Now repeat steps 4 and 5 with your blog URL.
Happy Blogging
