How to create a blog (or weblog) on blogSpirit ?

First Step : your identity
Easy ! Just fill in the form with your personnal data...
The display name is the name shown on your about page on your blog, your first name, last name , date of birth and other informations will be kept secret.
Your email adress will be necessary to create a blog and to use some of blogSpirit features like comments alert & moderation, email publishing and communities information.

Second step : Your account
Choose a username and a password (used to login to your admin area), don't choose login/passwords easy to guess, someone could login to your account if you use your blog name as password and login for example...
Your weblog
The most intersting part !
Choose a name for your blog that will be shown on the top of your blog banner, you may also insert a description (displayed under the blog title). The blog keywords are used for search engine, try to fill 5 or 6 words separated by comma. The weblog URL is very important, you may not change this setting in the future. By default, the url contains your blog name plus blogspirit.com, I recommand to put some caracters like '-' in your url, search engines really appreciate that !
For example, if your blog name is "My life in San Fransisco", your blog url should be "http://mylifeinsanfransisco.blogspirit.com". Prefer something like "http://my-life-in-san-fransisco.blogspirit.com" !

Good Luck !
