Blogger is an American online content management system founded in 1999 that enables multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. Pyra Labs developed it before being acquired by Google in 2003. Google hosts the blogs, which can be accessed through a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be accessed from a user-owned custom domain (such as www.example.com) by using DNS facilities to direct a domain to Google’s servers. A user can have up to 100 blogs or websites per account. Google Blogger also enabled users to publish blogs and websites to their web hosting server via FTP until May 1, 2010. All such blogs and websites had to be redirected to a blogspot.com subdomain or point their domain to Google’s servers via DNS. Google Blogger has a wide international user base and is available in more than 60 languages, despite its decline in popularity in the United States. Pyra Labs launched Blogger on August 23, 1999. It is credited with popularizing the format as one of the first dedicated blog-publishing tools. Pyra Labs was purchased by Google in February 2003 for an undisclosed amount. Premium features, which Pyra had offered for a fee, were made free as a result of the takeover. Evan Williams, a co-founder of Pyra Labs, left Google in October 2004. Picasa was acquired by Google in 2004, and Picasa and its photo-sharing service Hello were incorporated into Blogger, enabling users to upload images to their blogs. Blogger underwent a major redesign on May 9, 2004, which included web standards-compliant templates, individual archive pages for posts, comments, and email posting. Blogger’s new version, codenamed “Invader,” was released in beta alongside the gold update on August 14, 2006. Users were moved to Google servers, and new features such as interface language in French, Italian, German, and Spanish were added. In December 2006, this new version of Blogger was taken out of beta. By May 2007, Blogger had completely moved over to Google-operated servers. Blogger was ranked 16 on the list of top 50 domains in terms of the number of unique visitors in 2007. On February 24, 2015, Blogger announced that as of late March, it would no longer allow its users to post sexually explicit content, unless the nudity offers “substantial public benefit,” for example in “artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts.” On February 28, 2015, accounting for severe backlash from long-term bloggers, Blogger reversed its decision to ban sexual content, going back to the previous policy that allowed explicit images and videos if the blog was marked as “adult”.
One of the best things about Blogger is that it is completely free to use. There’s no signup fee and no subscription costs. You can publish up to 100 blogs per account. You even get an SSL certificate, hosting, and a BlogSpot domain name with your site for free. Blogger offers you everything you need to launch, maintain, and even monetize a blog and it is all for free. However, if you want to add your domain name, you will have to purchase that separately and link it to your account. All of BloggerâÃÂÃ’s themes and gadget add-ons are free. But you might find a small selection of third-party options that charge a fee. However, they are all completely optional, so Blogger does not have to cost you anything.
Blogger is pretty easy to use, Creating a blog takes just a few steps and BloggerâÃÂÃ’s intuitive interface and dashboard mean that getting the right look for your blog does not take any design skills. You need a Google account to use Blogger. If you do not already have one, you will need to create one. Pick a name for your blog. Create an address (URL) for your blog. This step may take some tinkering if your chosen URL is not available. If you get stuck, add a number to your text to increase the chance of availability. Confirm your display name. This is the title of your blog that will be displayed to readers. Click Finish and you are ready to start blogging. Next up, it is time to write your first blog. To do this, click New Post on the top left-hand column and Blogger will switch to Create mode. You get a nice blank slate where you can write whatever you want. You have the usual word processor options along the top, such as bold, italics, bullet points, font type, and font color. You’ll also see options to add emojis, links, images, and video content. When your blog is looking good and you are ready to release it on the web, just hit Publish and it will be live on your Blogger site. Blogger’s templates and themes give you a selection of ways to arrange and customize your blog. By clicking Layout on the left-hand column, you’ll open up the template you can edit by adding in things like a Wikipedia gadget box, and an About Me section and place it wherever you like. You can do this all really easily with Blogger’s drag-and-drop system.
