1 Get a Wordpress Account


Create a Wordpress.com blog here.

Create an Account

Fill out the forms and make sure you check Gimmie a Blog!.

Next!

Now click the Next button.

2 Choose a Domain Name

Domain

On the second page, you'll be picking a Blog Domain. This is important, because it's the web address for your blog.

Signup

Fill in the remaining info and click Signup.

You will need to check your e-mail for a confirmation link and all the usual registration stuff.

3 Log In to Your New Blog


Once you've gotten an e-mail with a password, browse to the domain you chose.

Browse to Account Find Meta

Find the Meta section in the sidebar and then click the Login link.

Login

Use your login credentials; you should have gotten them by e-mail after having followed the confirmation link.

Logged In

If all went well, you're logged in to your new blog (what once said 'login' should now say 'logout').

Now you've got a fully functional blog, and it's time to set up the third and final element of your videoblog.

We're always looking to improve these guides.
