Google Blogging Tip # 98: How to Create a Google Only Blog Profile

Q) Can you tell me how to create a Google 'Profile' without creating a Google Blog?

A) To create a Google 'Profile' simply follow the steps below.
The Google 'Profile' can be used for several reasons:
1) To reserve a name. The Blog can be added later.
2) So you can Follow someone who all ready has a Google Blog using Google Friends Connect.
Email Inquiries: 19

To create a Google only 'PROFILE' please follow these steps:

1/ - If you do not all ready have an email account create one. You will need an email address. If you don't have an email address or want a separate email just for your 'Google Profile' then Gmail or Yahoo are probably the best options but there are others such as myway; msn; live; and hotmail.

2/ - Write down the name you want to use for your Profile, example: blogsfollowme. I would recommend using this for the Blog Title as well.

3/ - Go to the following Google Link-
Create A Blog
See Picture Below:




4/ - The following window appears, see picture below:
Fill in all the required information.
When finished click on 'Continue.'




5/ - You will get another page. This is the page that you will create a 'Profile Only.'
Fill in the two required items, then click on 'skip this and create a blog later.'
See Picture Below:




6/ - This will take you to the final page.
If you want you can click on Edit Profile, Add a Profile Picture or just sign out.
Then open your email account. Google will have a confirmation email, click on it, sign back into your Profile, then sign out.
You are done.

How to use your PROFILE:
Anytime you wish to Follow someone, like me, The Blog Guy, just click on the 'follow' button just above 'Followers. Sign in with your email account and password and follow that Blog or Google Friends Connect on a website.
