3. Create a gmail account

Gmail is a free web-based email service similar to Yahoo mail or Hotmail. You will need a Gmail account to sign up for your Blogger Beta account in the next lesson and for several other lessons. If you read email list servers, Gmail is an excellent tool because it collects all the messages on a topic into one thread.

Exercise
1. You can sign up on your own now! Go to Gmail.
2. Click on "Sign up for Gmail" below the sign in box
3. Fill out the form.
4. Click the "More >>" link and choose "Gmail".
5. Take some time to learn a little about your Gmail account - read the introductory emails that Gmail kindly sends to your new account.
6. Don't forget to write down your username and password unless you have a better way of remembering them.
