As you read these steps, please keep in mind this doesn't create a blog for you. This is for your Blogger Profile Page. Remember that when you look at the photo below.
Go to https://www.blogger.com/start. Click on Create A Blog. Remember, you aren't really going to create a blog. You can later if you want, but that's optional.
Don't panic when you see this page. Click on the skip this step option.
You will need to create a Blogger Account. Fill out your email and other information.
At the bottom of this page, you'll see the orange arrow with the words "Continue". Click that.
Next you might have to verify your account. If you don't see the circled information above, move on.
Click Edit Profile.
This next page is the privacy page. IMPORTANT: Make sure you click "Share My Profile" and "Show Sites I Follow".
You can fill out as much of the rest as you'd like. When you are done, don't forget to click the orange Save Profile button.
Whenever you enter a contest, make sure this is the account information you use when signing in. Again, let me remind viewers that I am not tech savvy. There might be an easier way of doing this. If so, write up a blog post and link it below.

Thats how I did it. :)
Sheila (Bookjourney) - thanks for the confirmation! :)
OMG -- J KAYE -- I love you....
ROTFL @ Mary!
Great instructions J.Kaye!!
lol...the inevitable next post :) I have a google account, but think I will go with a Blogger Account.
Only because I love you J. Kaye. I wouldn't do it for anyone else :) Thanks for preparing us in advance
Teddyree - I really hope it helps.
Jenn M. - You don't have to. Please keep this in mind. This is only for the viewers who want to enter the giveaways.
J. Kaye~ Quit having such awesome giveaways then! :P Nah, not a big deal. Just want to make sure I have my facts straight. I will do a blogger account for giveaways, although I haven't entered as many this month for some reason.
I totally understand where you are coming from with the request/requirement. I have done one giveaway so far and it stressed me out. I'd like to do more, and I think your method here is a good plan. I honestly don't know how you manage to keep it all straight. I'd be pulling my hair out, although from the sound of it, you might have been doing the same thing. Hence the changes. :)
Jenn M. - That's why I am scaling back. It's gotten to be too much. Also, the giveaways next year will reflect the books I actually read, if that makes sense.
J. Kaye rocks my world. :)
j. kaye rocks my world, too! mind if i link to this on my blog?
Thank you for your help i hope mine is done properly.
:)
I still have lots to learn.
I would like to learn how do my own blog. Maybe oneday.
Thanks

This is a handy tutorial. I was pretty sure by looking at my profile that it was checked but I never paid any attention. Now I know where to look should I need it. Thanks!
I'm so glad I started using this. Makes it much easier to leave comments!
Jenn M - my blogger account is hooked up to my google account if that helps any.
J.T. Oldfield - LOL!
drey - That would be fantastic! Love link-ups.
silverneon2000 - In 2010, I'll be toning it down a bit.
Zia - Hope others will find it helpful...and that it will clear up the confusion.
Page (One Book At A Time) - That's what I think. And you don't have to set up a blog.
J. Kaye~ Totally makes sense. I love your giveaways, but I am compulsive. Show me what hoop to jump through and I will. :) I've been good though...only entering for books I am really really interested in
Who knew about that little checkbox?! Thanks for the info...
Winning Readings - Yes, if that box isn't checked, then it won't matter what else you do.
