Now that you’ve done some exploring around this website and understand how this program will work, it’s time to setup your very own personal blog to begin recording your thoughts, discoveries and exercises in. For this program, We recommend that you use Blogger, a popular free online blog hosting service that is extremely easy to use.
Creating a blog using Blogger takes just three steps:
- Create an account (view screenshot)
- Name your blog (view screenshot)
- Select your template. (view screenshot)
Once you’ve created your blog here are two important things to know:
- To add posts: The maintenance interface that you will use to add posts, edit or change the step-up your blog is accessed online at http://www.blogger.com Be sure to write down your login and password.
- To view your blog: Your blog address is http://(xxxx).blogspot.com, (xxxx)=the unique identifier you entered in Step 2. Be sure to also write down your blog address.
If you run into problems or would like more information about blogs and using Blogger here are some discovery resources you can use:

- And here's a video on how to create a blog on Blogger.
OK -- Now, it’s your turn...

At 1:37pm on 10/20/08 the links to the "7 1/2 habits" web page isn't working...
Thanks, it should be OK now.
The links still are not working.
I couldn't get the link to work either. I found the website through Google and watched it there.

kjessee (kjessee@coj.net) Setting up the blog was easy. Commenting on others is something I am less inclined to do--although that is one of the primary functions.
