Henri Cartier-Bresson

Set your DISPLAY NAME as your REAL NAME

No need for full government name but no nicknames like Lil' Osterizer 

If you get these questions, do this
Close the two goldenrod colored boxes 

by clicking the X's in the upper right corners

Click the CREATE NEW BLOG button

Title your blog EXACTLY this way

Photo Blog - FirstName LastName
Any other name and you will be redoing it

Now let's get you a web address for your blog: Start typing
an address that contains your name.
This is the same game you always play when making a user name
- the important thing is that the address contains your name.
