In the next page, you have to choose profile options.
you may either "Create a Google+ profile" (or use an existing Google+ profile) or create "Create a limited blogger profile". If you select Google plus, Blogger will show your google plus account as an author. If you want to use a different name or limit exposure to your audience, select limited blogger profile. In this tutorial, we will use a limited blogger profile. You can switch it to Google plus profile anytime.

Step 4 - Designing a blog in Blogger


Our next thought will be about our blog design. Many beginners avoid this step. Some do too much to design a blog. The important thing is the number of your visitors and ranking of your blog in Google search depend on your blog design. Question is how? The answer is when you do too much. When you surf the net, you may notice that some blog take a lot of time to load. One of the reasons can be blog design. So what you should do? Just don’t make your blog a garbage truck. Your blog should look simple and professional. It should be comfortable to read posts. As an example, you should not use red background behind black post fonts. You should use a whitish background for that. 





You can use blogger theme to design your blog. Those themes will not create these kinds of problems. But, if you want to use Theme from outside, you should be careful.


To design your blog in blogger, click on "Theme" from the left sidebar of your blog's dashboard.

Next, click on "Customize"

After that, click on "Layout" to add or rearrange gadgets of your blog.

From "Advanced" option you can change the color and size of the text of your blog, tabs, posts, etc. But, don't do anything with "Add CSS".
