How-to: Setting up a Blogger account with a non-Google e-mail address

As I've set up an e-mail address for the blog it makes sense to be able to post from it too. To do that I will need to set up an account with Blogger for the new e-mail address. At the same time I'll create a gmail account to both manage the blog and give access to the Google apps suite without the monthly fee. Skullcinema@gmail.com is already taken (as there is nothing new under the sun), but I can take a related e-mail address. I won't publish it here as the first address will generate enough spam as it is. Setting up a gmail account really doesn't require a guide, but it is covered here if you need one. So, off to set up an account  through Blogger . First of all though, log out of Google and/or Chrome or it will pull you straight through to Blogger on the account you are logged in on. Choose SIGN IN in the top right-hand corner of the Blogger home page, and then select  Use another account underneath the list of your current Google accounts. Now

How-to: Adding another author to a Blogger blog

The final step in the process of reworking the blog is to invite the new account to become an author. Open the blog using the managing Google/Blogger account and select the Settings tab from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen. Then scroll down to find Invite more authors in the Permissions section and enter the e-mail address of the person you want to join the blog into the dialog box that pops up, in our case blog@skullcinema.com, and hit SEND . Blogger will then send out an invite link by e-mail. Now log out of the original account and back into the new account, this stops Google from automatically switching the invitation to your currently open Google account (yes, the one you just sent it from). Go to your e-mail in-box (or extract it from your junk mail box) and follow the Accept invitation link, which will pop up a new tab back in your browser with another Accept invitation link. Clicking this will add you to the blog author list and open up a cut-d
