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. Click it and you will be prompted to fill in the name of ypir blog. Fill in a unique name for it and click the _Create_ button. + +![](https://i.snap.as/dXfBD3F.png) + +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! + +![](https://i.snap.as/jN0D362.png) + +## Title & Alias + +There are a couple things to know about your newly created blog. Each WriteFreely blog comes with an alias and a title. Both of these are taken from the name you gave your blog when you created it. + +The alias is the unique and unchangeable slug in your blog's url. In the previous example, the name "Blog for Writing" creates the alias "blog-for-writing". This will appear in the URL. For example, if your WriteFreely site URL is `example.com`, then your blog URL will be `example.com/blog-for-writing`. The title is the title displayed on your blog. If you want a particular alias for your blog, you should enter that when creating a blog, and then go to the new blog's _Customize_ page and change the title to what you want. + +To continue upon the previous example, we can go to the new blog's _Customize_ page and change the blog's title from "Blogs for Writing" to "Blogs for Typing". Notice how the new title appears on the blog but the alias is still "blog-for-writing": + +![](https://i.snap.as/SBzoXVX.png) + +## Identity + +When you create a new blog, it is a unique, individual identity. No reader can see that your blogs come from the same account. Only you know through your _Blogs_ page. This means that each blog can be used however you want.
