"Getting a Google Account" & "Joining This Site" Tutorial

If you don’t want or need a Google account, you don’t need to read any further!

For those of you who wish to be more active participants and connect to other interested cousins through this blog—and particularly if you wish to post photos of your own—you may want to go ahead and get a Google account if you don’t already have one. Only if you have a Google account can I add you as an “author” to the site. 

You do not have to have a Gmail address to log in to Blogger or to create a Google Account. If you don't have or want a Gmail account, you can still create a Google Account.

If you have a Google account, sign in by clicking on “Google” (above).  If you use Gmail, you already have an account.  If you don’t have a Google Account, click on “Create a new Google Account” found below the big pink box. 

A Google Account is made up of any email address and password of your choosing.  I use my Yahoo email address and a random password.  This is what I also use to sign in to Blogger.
