In this review on Blogger, you will find out everything from features, use-cases, pros and cons, and alternatives for Google Blogger in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to&nbsp;blogging, only a handful of blogging platforms out there that can really push you forward; help you achieve your goals, ambitions, and dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blogger.com&nbsp;(or Google Blogspot) is one of those excellent free blogging sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I will review Blogger blogging platform. It is one of the best.&nbsp;1.4%&nbsp;of the world\u2019s blogs are built with Blogger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-what-is-blogger\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Blogger\"><\/span>What is Blogger?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pitiya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Blogger-logo-1024x296.png\" alt=\"Blogger logo\" class=\"wp-image-4015624\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Blogger.com is a free blogging platform owned by Google. Hence it is also known as Google Blogger to disregard any confusion with the \u2018blogger\u2019 noun (<em>a person<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;history of the Blogger&nbsp;goes way back to the 1990s. It was started by Evan Williams and is regarded as the pioneer of online content publication service, aka weblogging, aka blogging. Evan Williams also contributed to&nbsp;founding Twitter and Medium&nbsp;\u2013 both pillars of internet publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Once&nbsp;Pyra Labs, which was co-founded by&nbsp;Evan Williams&nbsp;and&nbsp;Meg Hourihan,&nbsp;sold the Blogger platform to Google in 2003&nbsp;after four months of negotiations&nbsp;for an undisclosed sum, Google integrated the blogging platform with its servers and enhanced the blogging platform so that anyone could start a blog. In this review on Blogger, I will explore them and help you decide if you should invest in Blogger CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-blogger-vs-blogspot\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blogger_vs_Blogspot\"><\/span>Blogger vs Blogspot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blogger vs. Blogspot \u2013 What is the difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might come to know both terms. In fact, those are mostly the same. Blogger indicates the blogging platform itself, while Blogspot is the hostname for blogs. For instance, you might create a blog on Blogger and get a host domain name that includes&nbsp;<em>.blogspot.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is you can hide the Blogspot domain name from the site by mapping a custom domain name which I will further discuss in detail in this Google Blogger review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-the-influence-of-blogger-blogging-platform\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_influence_of_Blogger_blogging_platform\"><\/span>The influence of Blogger blogging platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Blogger web hosts might hold a low profile. But several years ago, it was one of the best and most influential blogging platforms. In fact, Matt Mullenweg started blogging on Blogger, and his dissatisfaction with Blogger.com was a reason to create the first version of&nbsp;WordPress&nbsp;in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some notable blogs and bloggers who get started on Blogger are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Amit Agarwal&nbsp;\u2013 Founder of Labnol.org \u2013 Some of his Blogspot blogs can be found on https:\/\/labnol.blogspot.com\/<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google.blog&nbsp;\u2013 The official blog of Google.com. The site itself indicates that if you have skills in coding, you can change the appearance of a Blogspot blog and make it unique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harsh Agarwal&nbsp;\u2013 Shoutmeloud.com is one of the most popular Indian blogs, and it was started on Google Blogspot first,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So, why do people start on Google Blogger and then move to other blogging platforms?Reasons why people move away from Blogger<ul><li>Blogger is the oldest blogging platform. Hence, it has gained popularity and the hand of Google. So, people trusted Google Blogger over other platforms, for instance, Tumblr. But later found some alternatives to Blogger with reasonable features.<\/li><li>Many bloggers from third-world countries got started on Blogger for the low cost. Once made some money and had a sustainable income, moved to a self-hosted blogging platform like WordPress.org or Magento.<\/li><li>Low customization options. Blogger is one of the least free blogging platforms when it comes to customization features.<\/li><li>The danger of deleting a BlogSpot blog. Yes, there are&nbsp;many incidents&nbsp;Google removed an entire blog from its servers that broke Blogger&nbsp;terms and conditions.<\/li><li>Future of blogging. Blogging space changes rapidly. Since Blogger is the least flexible blogging site, you cannot find plugins or reasonable features for current marketing requirements, such as Rich Snippets plugins, image optimizations, and custom CDN solutions. Not to mention that Blogger offers many blogging-related features last after many Blogger competitors offered them. Ex: drag and drop website builder<\/li><\/ul>But that does not mean Blogger is not a good blogging platform. In fact, it ticks many boxes if you are particularly looking for an excellent blogging platform for small projects. I will discuss some of them further in this Blogger review.Blogger Review: How to use BloggerThe best thing about Blogger is it is free of cost. And its intuitive dashboard is clutter-free and less complicated so that anyone with or without experience in blogging can get started today and make a blog.First of all, you must have a Google account to have a Blogspot blog. The best part is one Google account can manage multiple Blogger blogs.Go to the&nbsp;Blogger.com homepage&nbsp;and log in to your Blogger account.<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"466\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pitiya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/blogger.com-homepage-signin-1024x466.jpg\" alt=\"Blogger.com sign in\">Sign in to your Blogger accountThe first step is entering the name of your blog. For example, if your blog is related to foods, you can enter a name like \u2018Best Food and Cooking Tips\u2019 or a name of the blog like &#8221;Money Connexion,&nbsp;You can change it later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/draft.blogger.com\/u\/1\/blog\/page\/edit\/2730564405391025086\/1348962472243230338#\"><\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Choose a name for the Blogspot blog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The next step is entering a subdomain name for your Blogger blog. Depending on your name of selection, the subdomain web address will look like&nbsp;<em>example.blogspot.com<\/em>.
