Dashboard: It’s the Control Panel for your blog (or blogs). This is the first page you see when you sign into Blogger. You can create a New Post or Edit an Existing Post, or you can change your Settings or your Design, or you can just View your blog.
Posting: From the Dashboard, click the blue button that says New Post. Enter the title of your post, write your blog, and press Publish Post, or you can Save Now if you have not completed your post. In order to get back to a saved post, you can go to Edit Posts, and you will see your saved post there with the label Draft. You can also preview your post before publishing it to see how it will look.
Labels: These help you put your posts into categories. If you wanted to post things to your blog other than just for our class this year, you might want to label each post for class. I use the labels on my class website very often.
Edit HTML / Compose: Some HTML programmers might be able to type their own code, but most of us will just use the Compose mode, where Blogger gives you the text formatting toolbar and options for uploading videos and pictures.
Design: With Page Elements you can move around the basic parts of your blog, such as the Title, number of columns, and Gadgets, which we will learn about later. Edit HTML is again for those computer programmers who really want to customize their blogs. And Template Designer is an awesome tool for making every aspect of your blog beautiful. Go for it!
