How I set up this blog and domain in 4 easy steps

1) Sign up for Gmail (not necessary but convenient)
2) Log into blogspot using your gmail id and password
3) Follow the steps blogspot guides you through - blog is setup
4) Register a domain name, implement URL forwarding
I used www.Dotster.com to register my domain name lightcogitation.com
Dotster also has a URL forwarding service for $5/year
It forwards a person's browser from the domain name e.g. lightcogitation.com
to a new web address e.g. lightcogitation.blogspot.com
5) That's it.
