About Blogger
Blogger is a free blogging platform run by Google. It lets you publish written posts and photos on a site you can set up in a few steps.
What it does
You pick a template and adjust its layout and background. Your blog can use a free blogspot.com address, or a custom domain you buy through the service. Built-in analytics show which posts get read and where readers come from. You can also connect the blog to Google Analytics for more detail. Posts and photos are stored with Google.
Key features
- Templates with flexible layouts and background images
- Free blogspot.com address or a custom domain
- Built-in reader analytics and Google Analytics support
- Google AdSense ads that can earn income from posts
- Post and photo storage kept on Google servers
Who it's for
Writers who want a simple, free place to share regular posts. This includes hobby writers and people who write about a subject like cooking or travel. It suits anyone who already uses Google accounts and tools.
Pricing and good to know
The service is free to use. A custom domain is bought separately through the service. Ads can be shown through Google AdSense if you choose to join. Because Blogger is hosted by Google, you publish inside its platform rather than on your own server.
