What is Google Blogger?

Blogger is an online blogging platform owned by Google.

It was launched in 1999 by Pyra Labs and later acquired by Google in 2003.

Blogger allows users to create and publish blogs for free on the Internet.

☝ Blogger features

Blogger has a series of characteristic functions that I leave you below:

➡️ Free blog creation

You can create your own blog free form thanks to Blogger

You don’t need to have advanced technical knowledge, as the platform offers a intuitive user interface.

➡️ Customizable templates

Blogger offers you a variety of predefined templates which users can customize according to their preferences.

You can also use customized templates if you have web design knowledge.

➡️ Integration with Google

Since Blogger is owned by Google, it offers easy integration with other Google products and services, such as:

➡️ Free accommodation

Blogger hosts blogs for free on its blogger.com domain

However, you can also use your domain customized if you wish.

Why don’t I recommend Blogger to create your blog?

Although it is an interesting platform thanks to its low cost, I don’t advise you that you use Blogger for a serious and long-term project.

In my experience, it’s better to use other options that give you more features that give your blog an edge more professional and attractive appearancewhich will be most appreciated by your readers.

For me, the best alternative in this case is WordPress.

With a WordPress blog you will notice a noticeable improvement in quality in:

• Control and customization
• Flexibility
• Scalability
• SEO and marketing

There are times when it’s better to spend a little more to get better results.

Cheap can be expensive and weigh down your valuable content.

Using the drag and drop function you will be able to place these elements in different positions within the structure of your blog.

In short

Now that you know how to create a blog on Blogger, all you have to do is get to work.

However, as I told you at the beginning, I don’t think it’s the best choice in the world if you want to have a serious blog with which to achieve important results.

Its various limitations are a long-term burden, so I recommend you explore the WordPress option before getting started to avoid future disappointment.

Now, the decision depends on you and what you are trying to achieve.

But always remember this:

“Every day thousands of people bury good ideas because they are afraid to put them into practice. And long afterward the ghosts of these ideas come back to haunt them.”
