Step 2: Naming Your Blogger blog and Choosing the URL
Take a little time to research this and give some thought to selecting a name for your blog and choosing a URL because .....
the name and URL should be unique and should include your primary keyword phrase
both should be on point for your topic based upon your keyword research data
For example, if your topic is " training tips for Dobermans ", then you might want to name your blog "Training Tips for Dobermans". You might want to use http://training-tips-for-dobermans.blogspot.com or http://trainingtipsfordobermans.blogspot.com as the URL (note: the hyphen [-] is the only non alphanumeric symbol that can be used in creating a URL for a blogspot).
2 easy steps down, 3 more to go to get you approved for Google Adsense.

Step 3: Bring Your Blogger blog To Life And Make It Look Like A Real Website
How To Pimp Out Your Blogger blog
If you want to make your blog look more like a website and "pimp out" the template to make it more appealing to the eye, I'm going to show you where you can get some cool Blogger templates and a cool script that can make your blog stand out!
When you set up your blog in step 1, you probably noticed that Blogger has a number of pre-made templates for you to choose from and use. The default template is Minima and if you want to change it, just click on the one you like the most and save it. You can easily change your template anytime you want.
If you find the regular Blogger templates to be a bit too boring for your tastes, it's pretty easy to change them. You should definitely check out (1) BTemplates.com and (2) Free Blogger Templates for blogspot templates to make your blog more attractive. I discovered these sites while doing a Google search for "free blogger blog templates" and found some very eye catching templates. Another thing I do to make my Blogger blogs more attractive is to hide that dorky Blogger navigation bar that appears at the top of your blogspot by adding a simple script to the HTML of your blog template. In the following module, I've posted a YouTube video that shows you exactly how to do this, so go ahead and check it out now.
(Note: Before you make any changes to your blog's template, save a copy of it in Notepad on your computer. That way if you mess something up, you can easily restore it. It can also save you time when setting up new blogs.)
You can also add or delete page elements or change the fonts & colors of your blogspot from the Template tab under Edit Layout.
3 easy steps down, only 2 more to go to get approved for Google Adsense.
We've covered quite a bit of info with these 3 steps, but you should be able knock them out in no time at all. 15-30 minutes tops.
In the next module I'm going to show you how to create the content you will need to get approved for Google Adsense.
