Blogger

I choose to use blogger because I already have a google account and I'm trying to minimise password fatigue.

Three steps to create a blogger blog are stated on the start page:

1. Create an account
2. Name your blog
3. Choose a template




I wonder how much design work was done to create the process?

Overall I felt that the task was easy enough. I think that there are two decisions in the process that might cause a delay (while the user thinks):

1. Choosing a sub-domain name xxxxxxxx.blogspot.com.
2. Choosing a title for your blog

During the setup there is a progress indication element on the page which tells you which step you a currently undertaking. When I was setting this blog up I noticed that on the final step (Choose a template) the progress indication element changed and what I thought was three steps suddenly became two.

Step 1:



Step 2:



Step 3:




I don't know why it is this way. Perhaps there's a technical issue (such as you can't change your account details once you've complete step 2) or mabey its just an oversite? I'm not sure. It's a small detail but it made me wonder what had happened and it detracted from the overall experience for me. It also gave me an idea of what to blog about :P

Has anyone else noticed this?
