Below is a link to a website I found on starting a blog with very specific directions on how to start blogs.  I think the instructions I have been posting on this blog (and that came from my Professor in the Social Media class I am taking @ USF-SM) are pretty specific with regard to Blogger; but this link adds information for starting a blog on yet another blog website, WordPress.

For all of the other new bloggers out there, I hope this is of assistance!
