The best starter option out there

It's my favorite in order to pass Google ads and then I have so far tended to switch over to another platform once I've been "certified"

Pros

The best part about blogger is that it is so easy to start and use, however after moving from some other hosting platforms out there you really start to notice Just how much it is lacking in terms of useful features It really is just a blank simple easy to use platform and nothing else, bare bone if you will.

Cons

My least favorite thing about blogger was that it just didn't offer much outside of hosting a blog. And there doesn't seem to be much in terms of SEO help for instance a lot of the terms even though it's with Google didn't match up to what I was used to and you would think a lot of the things that Google uses to rank would be included but they are not for instance meta tags and all that stuff would be a lot easier to access or utilize. It's extremely bare bones

Blogger Review

It has been a lovely experience, I haven't encountered anything worth disliking.

Pros

I'm fond of this platform because it has created a pathway for people who yearn to start blogging without paying any monthly fee; creating more opportunities to invest money on marketing the website. I love Blogger so much.

Cons

In all honesty; nothing, zilch. I love everything about Blogger and I urge those who wish to start blogging to consider the above-mentioned platform.

Relatively easy way of getting your thoughts online

Allows you to quickly launch & publish blogs with a fairly intuitive interface. Feels a little old-fashioned now, but pretty reliable - & links well to Google ecosystem, of course.

Pros

A relatively easy way to get your thoughts online & in front of readers.

Cons

Limited range of fonts (unless you hunt out more), odd labelling, fiddly insertion of pictures, occasional HTML snafus.

Even my mom had a blog, and that should say something

Going back and visiting my blog fills me with nostalgia and joy. It was such a fun process for me, and I used it pretty much daily. It became a form of self-expression and I'm glad I had this outlet.

Pros

Blogger was my idol in middle school. Having my own space to design, write, and share pictures and updates with my family was almost a healing, self-identifying process.

Cons

Overall, the functioning was a little clunky, and I think now that technology has advanced, there are sleeker, more user-friendly options.

It Has Been Part of My Life for Two Decades

I have many using Blogger since 2001. They are easy enough to customize, link, and manage. Even after twenty years, my content remains and I feel safe using blogger because I can go back anytime to read my journal, refer to things I forget, or just to relive the memory of those days. It's one of the best free blogs out there and I have recommended it to many.

Pros

Easy to use.
Can be customizable to certain extend by studying the codes, trial, and errors.
I can create many different looks to differentiate my blogs that way.

Cons

Sometimes the codes don't work the way it should. And when I copied my content from some other sites (for example I copied my book review from Goodreads), blogger would mess up the text, giving it background colors that can't be rid of, changing the fonts and sizes, etc.

Great Product for Simple Blog

Blogger has been the most straightforward product. Simple to cut and paste and publish. It feeds our app without fail. It has been the most reliable product I’ve used to date.

Pros

Blogger is so easy to use. I just cut a paste just like any regular word processor. When I go to schedule my posts, a window pops up to verify the time and date I have selected and that feature has caught errors before they happened.

Cons

Hard to think of anything that I really don’t like about it. In the beginning I had a little trouble with the RSS feed, but was able to resolve the issues quickly.

A User-Friendly Platform for Small Businesses to Share Their Stories

Pros

Blogger has been an essential tool for our small business to establish an online presence and engage with our audience. Its intuitive interface makes it easy to create and publish blog posts, even for those without technical expertise. Plus, the customizable templates and seamless integration with Google products like AdSense and Analytics have helped us tailor our blog's design and track our performance effectively.

Cons

Blogger's functionality is fairly basic, more advanced users might prefer a more robust platform.

Blogger was so easy to use and it's free! It also has unlimited storage so I never have to worry about running out of space to write.

Cons

Blogger doesn't have an e-commerce feature.

User review of Blogger.

Overall Blogger is really a very good platform for blogging especially for beginners who are willing to start their career as a blog writer. New blog writers can gain a lot of experience by using Blogger.

Pros

The Blogger is a plug and play kind of website for blog writers, where blog writers can create their blogs and write articles. The user interface is easy to use. Blogger provide a lot of free templates to the users to customize their blog. It is a very easy to use website.

Cons

The only negative thing that I observed in Blogger is that it does not provide free stock videos and images to let the users use them in their blogs and articles. Blogger should provide some free images and video library on its platform.

Anyone can blog thanks to Blogger

I've had an exceptional experience with Blogger, and have used to for almost 5 years now. From journaling, blogging, content marketing to website creation; I find that it is reliant and straight to the point and has remained consistent.

Pros

This was the first app I used that gave me confidence with content creation. It is extremely user friendly and I love how quick and efficient it was with uploading content. I was also able to create my website with it; it's multi-purpose functionality enabled me to utilise it in various tasks.

Cons

I feel there should be more options with customising. It can also be a little bit challenging at first to get other readers to find you.

Solid Platform for Straight-Up Blogging

For just blogging (especially for the less tech-savvy) this is the platform I would always recommend, it can be set up fast and customized easily. For those looking to have a blog as a lesser addition to a business site and have the whole thing hosted in the same place - there are platforms that are better suited.

Pros

I started as a total beginner with Blogger and it was able to grow with me as I acquired more digital skills. I didn't need to know (or learn) tons of coding or need to create my own templates to do some customization right away. Then, as I grew I was able to add enhancements with tools that has always been there for me (like the ability to easily paste template code and check it as I did my edits). There was no time I felt that there was a gap between my skill level and the next level I wanted to take my blog.

Cons

For me, blogger is (as the name suggests) a BLOG platform. I found that, as my needs expanded (need for a store or a landing page, information pages, etc.) That the level of experience with templates and coding needed to take blog pages and convert them to other types of pages was much more steep than my prior experience.

Best web-logging (blogging) platform on the internet

Pros

Blogger is the best web-logging (blogging) platform available on the internet. Blogger enables users to easily share, express and publish the contents in the form of blog (weblog) posts. Blogger provides a variety of features including blog Posts, Stats (blog analytics), Pages, Layout, Earnings (monetization) and Theme etc. It has a very well organized Settings/control panel for controlling the Privacy, enabling Custom domain, setting up Permissions/blog roles, managing Comments and Email notifications. After using a Blogger for more than a decade's time, I must say that even a beginner blogging professional/student can also make the most out of this platform.

Cons

I haven't experienced any issues so far, however; in my opinion, there should be more default gadgets available (under "Add a Gadget") which bloggers can include on their blogs.

My Review of Blogger

My overall experience with Blogger is excellent and I am using it to manage my main website.

Pros

I like that Blogger gives me a free domain with the host. Also, it has a high level of security that makes me feel safe. There is no limit of how many blogs that i can publish daily which of course is something great for companies that publish news in a regular way.

Cons

Blogger offers a small range of themes and templates that I can use. It is hard a little bit to create my own database on Blogger as there are some restrictions. Also, archiving the blogs of Blogger takes some time which is something bad.

A great tool for anyone who wants to have a free blog.

I have a health blog for over 5 years on blogger. I managed to leave it as I would like. it turned out to be a very professional site and it helps me a lot in gaining new clients and what's best was all free.

Pros

The point that most caught my attention for using blogger was the fact that it is free and a great tool. I had a blog with him for several years which helped me build my online structure. It has several ready-made templates that make life easier for you to get your blog online in a few minutes. If you want, you can send the domain and google servers and because it's theirs, you already have google adsense integrated. I have recurring earnings with my blog because of adsense.

Cons

Despite being a great tool that allows you to build great websites it is somewhat limited. In addition to requiring a good knowledge of HTML and programming to achieve better results. But even so I think it's worth having.

Blogger: a good web builder tech novices.

My experience was all right. I was able to start my blog without spending any money and coding skills thanks to Blogger.

Pros

I love blogger because it is so easy to use. I started my blogging journey three years ago. I was able to build my lifestyle blog in less than an hour without any tech skills whatsoever.

Another thing I like about it is that it's free. That made it possible for me to have my blog running without paying any hosting fees.

That was great because I could not afford it at that time.

I also like its interface, which makes it easy for me to upload pictures and affiliate links to my articles without any hassles.

Also, the speed of my blog is fast. It makes it a pleasant experience for my readers

Cons

The first I dislike about Blogger is the lack of control over my website. I always lived in fear that my blog will shut down without warning is awful. I think the platform should give some warning first before penalizing people.

I also find the templates and themes available on Blogger ugly. It does not have many templates to choose from like other website builders to make my blog attractive.

Another thing I dislike about it is that no matter how I tried, I could not have my Google AdSense approved. That made monetizing my blog difficult

It has lived its life

Initial experience was good when we rode the hype express and started using it but slowly when our competitors started shifting to other platforms and we saw the difference that it was making, we also made the same decision & switched.

Pros

It had a simplistic UI and was easy to use until other competitor tools showed us that it can be easier to use, and that we are putting in too much effort. With respect to current advancements and standards, I don't find anything likable.

Cons

Everything. Instead of solving problems it became an issue itself. We were having a hard time managing it. Once we used the modern tools we never looked back at it.

Is blogger a good hosting service for your websites

Blogger has helped create a lot of blogs for free monetize them with AdSense and earning some money.

Pros

Blogger offers their services completely free, you don't need to pay for anything. May be buying a custom domain, blogger dashboard is very easy to use even for beginners, if your blogger blog has a good number of visitor you can monetize your site using google AdSense using the earning tab section found on blogger. And earn some descent amount of money, depending on your traffic.

Cons

The problem with blogger, although its free but its limited to some features, if you want to upgrade your blog and having a trusted SSL certificate, improved search engines ranking you need to buy for hosting. Since blogger doesn't offer this services, also they don't have customer support in case you have a problem with your blog you should report it on their forum which it takes time to get a reply.
