I suspect the "Title" you may be seeing is for the initial blog setup when
you have to give your blog a title.
Make sure you give it a title and set it up first.
After this, creating blogs is a matter of preference: you can either log
into your Blogger account, choose the blog you set up (with the Title you
set up);
you will need to click that title and from the screen that appears, choose
Creat Blog to start a new blog.
The page that loads for your editing will have the Subject which you need to
enter, followed by the body of the message. In the body, you have the option
of picking up HTML elements such as hyperlinks, buttons, placing images and
applying styles.
Write your post of wisdom and click on either "Publish" for the blog to be
instantly published, or "Save as Draft".
The other way involves tinkering with your settings first but is the easiest
by any standards:
Go to your account settings.
From the Panel that appears, choose Email/Mobile Posting.
Click this link, a new screen will load.
Here enable Email posting by setting up a custom mail box to be used for
receiving your blogs.
You do this by just entering a secret word to your Gmail email address, for
example.
To clarify this, let's say my address is
[email protected].
My custom Blogger email address for my post should be set up by adding a
secret word like, for instance, "1066England" (this is an example please, so
you are free to use any word or string you like: as long as nobody other
than yourself knows it).
My custom blogger mail will read like:
[email protected].
So note that the server changes from Gmail to Blogger and the username
remains the same with the exception that it now has a dot plus a secret
word.
You should also specify whether all emails you send are to be published
there and then or should be saved as drafts. The option of publishing
instantly is to have every email you post appear to the rest of the world
after it leaves your mail client. Choose this option only if you know that
you thoroughly revise your posts and are cocksure of your thoughts.
Otherwise, you can choose to have emails saved as drafts. This option
assumes that you will frequently visit your blogger account to revise your
email posts. So if you are too busy and have no time for staying online,
avoid this setting. You will just post your blogs to be saved as drafts and
none will appear online unless you visit your account and manually revise
and choose the Publish option.
Save your changes.
From now on, you don't need to visit Blogger online to post blogs: simply
use your email client to write your favourite posts as if you are writing an
email.
You will just make sure to post this email to your custom mail address at
blogger.com.
The subject line will be the subject of your new blog, and the body will be
the body of the blog.
However, the limitation of this method is that you can only use HTML format
to post and not plain text. If you use plain text, you won't be able to
upload images and to apply visually appealing styles.
Hope this is clear, if not, feel free to seek further particulars. We want
to see that post, so I wouldn't like it if this is confusing in tone.
Cheers,
Ishe

Hi,
Does anyone here use blogger.com? If so, how in the world do you type a
blog
in this thing?
I can find the title field but the body field, wow! Nope.
If someone can help that would be great.
Thank you.
