So you've registered for the community and and you would like to start your own blog. Before doing so please take a moment to review the blogging guidelines as we cannot allow any posts to remain that don't abide by these considerations.

Now... off to create your blog.

Step 1, Log In: Go to the Community tab in the main menu, enter your username and password and click the Login button.

Step 2, Go To Your Blog:  Hovering over "Blog" in your profile you will see a link "View Your Blog". By selecting this link you will be taken to your main blog page.

Step 3, Blog Preferences: Click the "My Account" tab to set your preferences.

Step 4, Name & Description: Enter a title for your blog and a brief description of what your blog is about and click "Save". This title and description is for your blog, not for your post. You will be able to enter a title and description for each post that you make. 

That's it, your blog has been created and stored. Your blog won't show up in the user list until you publish your first post but you have done all you need to assure that it will be ready when you are!
