How to Create a LEGO Account

For many years now, lego.com has offered LEGO Accounts. They are free, and with an account you have access to many awesome games. Most importantly (in my opinion), you have access to the NXTLOG. If you've been reading my posts, you'll know that on the NXTLOG you can post your Mindstorms projects, comment and rate other users' projects, and enter awesome challenges. Entering these challenges has been an amazing experience for me...
 First, you are challenged to build something that completes a certain task or fits into a category. This provides you with inspiration for a project, and the fact that you are entering it into a contest gives you a reason to do your best when building. When you are done building, you must learn how to document your project. This involves thinking of a title for your project, taking many pictures and sometimes a video, and writing an understandable and informative description for your project (which will reinforce everything you learned while you were building). Once you are done documenting, your project is submitted for judges to moderate. Once moderated, you can receive comments from other Mindstorms fans, giving praise or suggestions (and sometimes criticism, but you can always learn from them too). Finally, you await for the contest to be over and see the winner; and even if you don't win or get honorable mention, it was still a great learning experience and there's always next time. :-)
If you're not the type that likes entering contests, you can still post on the NXTLOG and learn through documenting your projects! The NXTLOG is an awesome place, and I hope you will check it out. Posting on the NXTLOG is free, and all you need is a LEGO account (which is also free). To create a LEGO Account, follow the following steps:

1. If you are a minor, ask an adult to help you. There is no age limit, as parents can also use them for shopping online.
2. Go here(link), and look to the top right of your screen. Click "Sign Up". See picture below:

    3. Follow the instructions to sign up (make sure to pick a meaningful username, as you cannot change it)
    4. After you have created your account, you will click "Sign In" whenever you want to log in.
    5. (not required) Check out the NXTLOG! :-)
