question and is usually asked by those that don't have a computer but
are interested in blogging. Yes, you can blog without having a
computer, your mobile phone alone can be used. On this site, you will

is java phone, symbian phone and android phone among many others. So,
I have written and posted different articles on blogging on the
different phones I mentioned earlier on but I grouped JAVA phone and

method of creating
a blogger on JAVA phone can be used on symbian phone also. Just read

blog and you can read the two posts to acquire knowledge. Let's get
started. Enjoy as you read through.

How to create more blogger blogs on one gmail account

Do you know that you can create and more than ten blogs on blogger
platform with just one gmail account? Yes, it is possible. You cannot
only just create but you can also manage those blogs on the same
dashboard. You just have to choose the blog you want to manage. To
create and manage more blogger blogs on one gmail account, you must
have created one blogger blog. If not, then create a blogger blog- it
is for free. If you want to create a blogger blog on android phone
then download chrome and follow the steps I gave in my post on how to
create a blogger blog. Let's get started. Follow the steps below:
1. Login to your blogger dashboard. Before you can create a new
blogger blog, you have to firstly login to your blogger dashboard. To
login to your blogger dashboard on, you have to enter blogger address,
that is, www. blogger. com into your web browser address bar. On the
next page that appears, enter your gmail address and password and
submit. If you are using a mobile phone, you will have to provide your
gmail address first, click on the "Next" button and then provide your
gmail password on the next page that appears and click on "submit"
button to continue. After submitting, you would be taken directly to
your blogger dashboard. Note: You may be asked to verify or confirm
that it's you and not another person. To verify that its you then you
have to choose an option. You can just choose "send code as text
message to my number". If this option is choosen, 4-digit confirmation
code would be sent to the phone number you used to create your gmail
account. Also, instead of this, you may be asked to provide a recovery
email and phone number. I will advice you to provide both the recovery
email and phone number if you have another email account and phone
number apart from the ones you used for this gmail account but if you
don't have both the recovery email and phone number, you can just
provide anyone you have. If you don't have any, you can use any of
your family member's own. If you still don't want to use any, just
reload the page or close the current tab, open new tab and input www.
blogger. com into your address bar and search. You will be taken
directly to your blogger dashboard.
2. Click on the name of your current blog at the top of "view blog" at
the top left corner of your blogger dashboard.
3. A drop-down menu will appear, click on the "create new blog" button
under the name of your current blog.
Note: This button is hidden so it would only be shown if you click on
the name of your current blog as directed above.
4. On the next page that appears, scroll down and input your new blog
title in the field provided for for blog title and also input the blog
address of your new blog into the field provided for blog address.
NOTE: I will advice you to check for the availability of the blog
address you want to use. This is because, if the blog address has
beenused by another person, you will not be able to use it. It will
tell you that the blog address is not available so you will have to
provide another blog address and this will waste your time because all
your provided blog adress might have been used by another person. To
prevent this, try all your guessed blog address before creating. To do
this, enter your guessed blog address, that is, yourguessedaddress.
blogspot. com into your web browser address bar and search. If it has
been used, it will take you to the blog with that address but if it
has not been used, it will take you to a page where you would be
told by blogger. com that the blog is not found and assuming you
search for africaisgood.blogspot. com and it has not been used before
by anyone else, it will display this message, "Sorry, the blog you are
looking for does not exist. However, the address africaisgood is
available and you will see "Register africaisgood" button. You don't
need to click the
button since you only want to know if the blog address is available.
Then let us continue. 5. Choose your preferred
theme. I will advice you to choose simple theme because it is
available in both web and mobile view. This can be changed later.
6. After choosing theme, click on the "create
blog" button to create your blog.

account.
