No other explanation necessary.
But we'll include one anyways:
We created this blog for our Newswriting and Reporting class. It is hosted by Blogger, which you can use to create blogs with a Gmail account. This is accomplished by clicking on "New Blog" on the Blogger homepage. This button brings you to a page where you can think up a brilliant title and web address, as we did. Here you can also pick a template, the way your fabulous thoughts and pictures and such will be displayed on your very own blog.
Once you have a blog, you can further customize and personalize its appearance. You can add pages by clicking on "Pages," located in the sidebar of your blog's dashboard. You can see all the pages we've added to ours in a nifty little bar above this text. You can change and adjust the template under "Template," which gives you options for: background color/image; text/sidebar widths, general layout; and text color and size. The blog design you see here was mainly done by Ellie, who has no formal design training but through countless hours of trial and error (and an awful lot of Googling) for her personal blog has learned the basics of HTML and blog design.
We also included a tool that counts the number of pageviews our blog has. With an account on StatCounter, you can set up and link to a counter that breaks down views by day and type of viewer (unique, first-time, or returning). Thanks for helping to up those numbers by visiting our blog! We wish you all the best in crafting your own online masterpiece.
