Choose a blog topic
Before creating the blog, you have to choose a perfect topic what you are going to write about. Choose a niche topic which you are really interested with, or one you are so familiar with, or one you find it easy to write about. The most recommended topic is the one you are interested with, so that you won't be lazy or bored to write blogs in the future.
Create a new blog
Create a new blog by
clicking the button on the top left of the Blogger page. You can create
multiple blogs in a single Google account.
When you create a new blog, Blogger pops up a window and ask blog details. First one is the Blog title. Blog title can be anything brief what you want; still it should be simple and more relevant to you blog. Blog title is going to be the webpage title of your blog, which one displays on the browser tabs. If you are a web designer, this title comes in the <title> tag of your HTML document.
After finishing the title field, choose an unique address that represents your blog. Choosing a blog name is a difficult part because the name you every time come up would have already been taken.
Use domain finder websites
If you cannot find a good blog name or every good name you come up are already taken, use some domain finder websites, LeanDomainSearch is the best domain finder for Blogger, it will suggest hundreds of possible domain names.
Choose template for your blog
Blogger provides some free templates, you can choose anyone of those. You don't have to worry, you can change your template anytime. Also it is possible to use a new third party template, the steps are given below.

You can preview the post to check the layout and format before publishing the post.
Give a post name
Give a related and attractive post title for your post. You really have to give a post title, you have got it? Tell me is it going to be good looking if your post seems "Untitled"? I do not think so.
Insert an image inside your blog by clicking the image icon on the toolbar, or else utilize the Google's new drag and drop facility inside the post while editing. I recommend you to insert most attractive picture, like a cover picture. When you share your blog post your post cover picture will be
Publish your post

Share your post
Promote your blog by sharing it in Google Plus. Make sure you share with Public and Extended Circles in Google Plus, also it's better if you share in related communities in Google Plus. Some of the other social networks which are good to promote your blogs are Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.
