Now we can see that the post(My First Post) already been created but under my name "Arindam Ghosal" there is a red border indicating spelling mistake because Google always uses dictionary for spell checker options. Right clicking on the misspelled word will show you a couple of options for correction of the spelling, but here I will not do so because my name "Arindam Ghosal" is not included in the dictionary at all and it will be same for you also. Now simply hit the publish button and you are done, don't forget to cancel the Google + sharing button otherwise the test post will be shared on your G+ profile.
