How To Create A Blogger Blog

April 21, 2007 by Michelle Waters 

Blogger helped create the blogging explosion that hit the internet recently. Blogs are a great way to connect with your customers and build relationships.

It is very easy to set up a Blogger blog. Simply go to www.blogger.com and enter in some basic information. Blogger has quite a few different themes to choose from, and you can further customize your blog by choosing the colors and fonts.

Blogger makes it very simple to add page elements to your site, such as RSS feeds, Google Adsense, and other items.

If you want to further customize your blog, Blogger allows you to change your template by editing the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) of your blog.

You can host your blog for free by using Blogger’s host service. Your blog’s URL will have “blogger” in it, for example http://yourblog.blogger.com.

You can host your blog on your own web host by changing the ftp settings in your blog. This will allow you to customize your domain, such as www.yourdomain.com/blog.

Another option is to switch to a custom domain. If you have registered a URL, you can go to the “publishing” section of your blog’s settings and enter the domain. When someone goes to that domain, they will be directed to your blog.

Blogger will also allow you to write your posts in advance and set them up as drafts. When you are ready to publish them, you simply press a button and your post is on the web.

Inserting pictures and links in your blog posts is also very simple using Blogger’s editor. Blogger’s comment section allows you to control who can post comments and whether or not they can add links to your blog.
