Start by going to the Google home page. This is as easy as going to www.google.com or www.google.co.uk. This is one of the most popular search engines on the Internet and is also the company behind GMail. Once you've found the homepage you then need to look for the Gmail tag. Click on that link and then you'll have the Gmail home page. On this page you should see something that says 'Sign up for Gmail'. Click this link, it can be found on the bottom right of your screen.
You will be taken to a page that asks for some details. You need to fill in the information in the appropriate fields, with your first name, your last name, and your desire log in name. Once you've entered this it will ask you to choose and then confirm your password. Make sure you choose something that people won't be able to guess, and try and put some numbers and unusual characters in there. This makes your password significantly safer.
You then need to fill out the remainder of the form, looking carefully at what all the fields are asking you to enter. You need to create your own security question as well. This will help you if you ever forget your password. You will be asked the question and only you should know the answer, which will allow you to reset your password by other means in the future. You should also provide a secondary email if you can, this makes changing your password in the future so much easier.
Finally, just click on the button that says 'I accept. Create my account'. You don't have to read the Gmail terms of service, but you should know that it involves the usual online legal agreements.
