E-mail Address: That’s obviously the e-mail address you are using the most. In my case, it would Gmail account insert it there.

Username: Doesn’t really matter. I tried to use my personal name, but unfortunately, it was taken. your desirable username is not free, then add some numbers until it’s unique. Don’t worry, this would not be your blog name.

Password: Strong one! I suggest you use special characters like “^^” or “@(/&#” and different numbers. To avoid hacking because There are lots of ugly hackers trying to break into blogs lately.
