What is blog?
A blog is information that is instantly published to a Web site. Blog scripting allows someone to automatically post information to a Web site. The information first goes to a blogger Web site. Then the information is automatically inserted into a template tailored for your Web site.
How to register to get a blog?
Click here to start registration process!
Registration process is formed in 4 simple steps.
Step#1
| Quote: |
Choose a Username.
Username should be your synonym. You can use nick name that you use on forums, games, chats, etc. It doesn’t need to be your real name, but you can use it if you want to. Anyway, it’s good to know that you can stay anonymous.
Enter your Full Name.
Full name won’t be published, but this name will be used for our intern user database and regarding our TOS it won’t be sold or given to any other third parity company without your knowledge.
Enter and re-enter a password.
Password shouldn’t be shorter then 4 characters and not longer then 8 characters. We suggest you to use together numbers and letters rather then only numbers or only letters. For example “matt32x25” is a good password, and only “matt” is not a good password. Good formed passwords will prevent your blog from hacking. Of course, if you forget your password there’s always a possibility to retrieve a new one. The password and username will be needed for further log in to your blog administration panel.
Enter your email address.
Use the email address that you use most often. Your email address as well as all of your private registration data will be collected only for internal SteadyHealth proposes and won’t be given or sold to any third parity company as mentioned in our TOS. Please enter a valid email address. After registration process, the activation link will be send to your email. If you enter non-valid email address or if you make a misspelling in your email, you won’t be able to activate your account!

Blog Name.
Now you need to define the name of your blog. Use short but descriptive name of your blog. Don’t use more then 40 characters. For example SteadyHealth.com community blogs is the name for our blog. It’s not longer then 30 characters but it’s descriptive enough. The blog name could be formed from your name or could point to your hobby or further blog content. For example, if your blog will contain articles about new innovations, a good blog name could be “The unexpected innovations”. Otherwise if you plan to have a private blog you can just add your name and call your blog “Matt’s daily blog”. It’s important to name your blog now, because it is one of required fields in this registration step. Later, you’ll have the chance to rename your blog anytime you want.
Language
From drop down menu you can choose a language for your blog. Default and first option in select menu is English. If your domestic language is close to other languages, just click to get a drop menu and choose the adequate language. SteadyHealth blogs supports several languages: English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Norwegian, Finnish, Japanese and Chinese.

How to log in?
Use login box on SteadyHealth Blogs and enter your username and password to log in into your administration panel.
If you have forgot your password you can retrieve a new one using “Forgot your password” link placed under the login area.
Where can I preview my blog?
Your blog will be placed on SteadyHealth Blogs listing page. Simply click the link Blogs in the main menu and all the blogs and users will be listed.
Find your blog on the list and click on its name to open it and get a preview.
What is the web address of my blog?
When you create a blog it’s useful to keep your blog address in memory. In order not to forget your own blog address, we provided you with your blog address and your username in our last email (activation email).
However, if you loose this email or you cannot find it, the Blog address is created in this way:
| Quote: |
http:// - internet protocol
user_name – your chosen username
/steadyhealth.com/ - SteadyHealth web address
Therefore it’s pretty simple to remember that your blog address is created from 3 components listed above, so it looks like this:
http://user_name/steadyhealth.com/
|
Notice:
Underscore symbol “_” is replacement for space (blank) character. If your username is created from two or more words separated by space characters, space characters will be replaced by “_”. For example, your username is john doe. Your blog will be placed on web address: http://john_doe/steadyhealth.com/
Where can I find other SteadyHealth blogs?
All blogs are listed on SteadyHealth Blogs list.
