How to create a static website for free using Blogspot (Blogger)

Intro

Whether you are needing a static website for your personal business or a site to present your projects, having a website can benefit you in many ways. Most people are intimidated by the thought of a monthly payment to host your website on a web server, and the initial cost of a domain name. But it does not have to be this way. There are ways to host websites for free, and even get a semi-customized domain name for free and it's simple.

What you need

1. Intro level HTML experience
2. Google account
3. Static HTML code provided by me (link)
4. About $13 for a domain name (optional)

Steps 

1. Open your web browser and navigate to https://www.blogger.com.
2. Click on the "Create Your Blog" button at the center of the screen. Here is where you will need to use your Google account to login.
3. After you sign in, you will need to create your first blog. Select the "Create New Blog" link at the top left of the Blogger window. 
4. Create a name for you blog and create a domain name for your blog. Your blog will have a free url under the blogspot.com subdomain (Ex. blogname.blogspot.com).
5. On the left hand menu, go to the "Pages" link. You will need to create the following pages with the following names. The only thing you need are titles for the pages, you do not need body text.
1. About
2. Services
3. Contact
6. Next go to the "Theme" link on the left hand column and click on the "Edit HTML" button. Here you will need to delete the code in the edit window, and replace it with the code you downloaded from here. 
7. Navigate to your blog's URL to test. The basic navigation and body of your website should be up and running now. You will need to edit the paragraphs (<p>) of the code with your information.
