Blogger

Blogger is a free blogging website owned by Google. It is easy to use and with Blogger you can customize your blog exactly how you like.  Blogger's template designer and their drag drop function makes the lay out and designing go quickly to leave you with more time to blog and add gadgets to your page! But, if you one of those guys who likes to do it yourself and get down and dirty with the html, Blogger will let you do that too. Also, Blogger lets you put advertising on your blog if you are interested in making your blog in to a moneymaking machine.  And if you are wondering how many people are visiting your blog, Blogger has a section for that under stats.


Blogger's template designer is easy to use , but while being easy to use it also lets you customize almost everything including the background, fonts, colors, the layout and a lot more. Blogger has basic templates pre-made with backgrounds, color schemes and fonts that look good if your not an "artistic"  person or don't want to deal with spending a lot of time designing your blog. 


If you want to change the content of your blog beyond what their template designer will let you then you can go to the edit html section to add or take away something or maybe even move something.... Who knows what you would do? But because of this function you are able to make your blog exactly how you like it. 


With AdSense on Blogger you put advertising on your blog to make money. Also you can sign up for Google affiliates and Amazon associates so if anything is bought that is promoted on your blog you will gain some mullah. While getting money is nice, you don't want all your readers to get annoyed with to many ads and stop visiting your blog. Blogger still lets you control where the ads are displayed and what they will be displaying.


Under the Stats section you can find statistics about how many people, what age group of people, and from what countries people are visiting your blog. With this information you can tailor your blog to the people visiting so as to gain more readers.


Gadgets are helpful in making your page interesting and to help make it more than just your words on a screen. Gadgets vary from blog stats to a news reel to a survey for your readers. You can have multiple gadgets on a page at once and Blogger lets you chose where they go.


Blogger Is a great tool for anyone who wants to make a blog without having to write all the code for it. It lets you customize everything I can think of that you would want to change. it is easy to use and quick to learn how to use. I would recommend Blogger to anyone who wants to write a blog.
