Create a Team Blog
Team blogs are quite useful when small groups of people wish to contribute to a single blog. Basically, one person initially creates the blog, and then adds other people to it as members.
Team members can either be administrators or not. Administrators can edit all posts, add and remove team members and grant admin access, and modify the blog's settings and template. Other members can only create and edit their own posts.
Here's how:
Click "Permissions" under Settings | Basic.
Click Add Authors:
Type the email addresses of the people you're inviting to the blog, separating each address with a comma. They'll receive an email with a confirmation link. They must have Google Accounts, and if they don't already, they'll be prompted to create one.
Click OK.
Control Permissions
By default, your blog is completely public, and can be read by anyone on the internet. However, if you want to keep it private, just click on "Edit" under the Blog Readers section in the Settings tab.
Under the Blog Readers heading, you'll probably see "Anybody" selected as the default. When you change this to "Only these readers," you'll get an option to add readers.
Click the Add Readers link and then enter the email address of a person to whom you want to grant access to your blog. To add multiple people, separate their addresses with commas.
For each address entered, the Google Account associated with that address will be given access to view your blog. The reader will be given permission to view your blog whenever they are signed in to their Google Account.
Blog Administrators
When you invite a member to join a blog and they accept your invitation, they are listed as an "Author" by default. Authors can only create and edit their own posts. You can see a member's status in the "Permissions" section of the Settings | Basic tab, and it looks like this:
To change an author into an admin, you can use the drop-down menu next to that author's name. If there's only one admin member of a blog, it's not possible to cancel that person's admin rights.
Remove a Team Member
To remove a team member, go to the Settings | Basic tab and click the X next to the name of person you want to remove:
While this will prevent the removed team member from creating additional posts, it will not remove items previously posted by them.
Remove Yourself from a Team Blog
To remove yourself from a team blog, navigate to the Settings | Basic tab for the appropriate blog. If you're an admin member, you'll see a full listing of team members there. Just find your name and click the X next to it.
If you don't have admin rights on the blog, you will see a simpler page, with a Remove yourself from this blog link. Clicking this link will remove you from the blog.
