# Creating a Blog
WriteFreely makes it easy to publish under multiple identities, so you can separate your writing by audience and express yourself more freely -- all from a single account, with your privacy intact.
WriteFreely makes it easy to publish multiple blogs from a single account, so you can separate your writing by audience or topic, and express yourself more freely.
## Prerequisites
First, your admin will need to configure your instance for multiple blogs (where `max_blogs` is either `0` or greater than `1`). If you're unable to create a blog with the instructions below, talk to your admin about increasing this limit.
## Getting Started
The first thing to do is make sure that your instance supports you to create multiple blogs. If it does, then log in to your WriteFreely site and click _Blogs_ on the top menu. Once on your _Blogs_ page, you'll notice a _New Blog_ option under your first blog. Select the "New blog" link and you will be prompted to fill in the name of your blog. Fill in a unique name for it and click the _Create_ button.
First, navigate to your _Blogs_ page. Under the list of blogs on this page, click "New blog" to start the creation process.
> **Note**: If there is no "New blog" link here, you've reached the limit of blogs you can create under one account. Talk to your admin about expanding that limit.
Enter the title or slug you want for your blog, and click the _Create_ button. A slug will contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and will comprise the URL of this new blog (e.g. `https://example.com/myblog/`). A title can contain any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols, but will automatically be converted into a friendly slug.

Once you click the _Create_ button you will see the blog appear in the list of blogs on your _Blogs_ page. You just created a new blog!
Once you click _Create_, the new blog will appear on your _Blogs_ page. Now you can publish to it!
