About Blogger

Blogger is a content management platform designed to help individuals create personalized blogs to write, edit and publish posts online. Users can sign in or switch between multiple accounts to view, follow and comment on blogs.

The web-based service allows bloggers to include specific pages and sections related to contact details or about us as tabs, add links to external websites and use preview functionality to edit pages or posts before publishing. The application stores uploaded videos and photos in Google Album Archive and provide access to users to delete or manage albums. Additionally, it offers custom themes and templates, which allow individuals to modify designs, layouts and page elements across blogs.

It facilitates integration with Google AdSense and Analytics, enabling professionals to generate revenue through targeted advertisements and gain insights into visitors’ interests and information. Blogger is available for free of cost.

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

Reasons for choosing Blogger

The ease of use gave me time to straighten out other areas of my business before pushing forward with the blog on a more comprehensive platform.

Reasons for switching to Blogger

A free blogging platform with some limitations to consider

What started many years ago as a personal blog describing my professional activities, ended up as a company (a company that I am no longer working for) blog for describing the team's activities in general. The option of having multiple blog authors helped a lot in the management of our blog and we could easily integrate resources from the corporate Google account, such as photos and documents. Another use of Blogger we found was the development of microsites for events, like Conferences and Workshops. We had the opportunity to develop about a dozen without much effort, and keep them as points of reference for the events, sharing publications and even asking participants to vote for them, using the integrated Blogger option. After all these years, I still maintain my Blogger-powered professional blog while my ex company has now turned to Medium for blogging purposes, having also changed scope of business and tone of communication since then.

Pros:

Several years ago I started building a professional blog using Blogger, because it is free, easy to use and has a great integration with other Google services. For example, the option to import photos from Google Photos to my posts is really convenient and saves me time and effort (and storage, in some cases) from uploading photos to another platform. The same goes for the integration of YouTube videos, which is seamless. The interface is easy to use and lean, without the bells and whistles of other blogging platforms. There is also the option for manually tweaking the interface/layout. As I am also managing various WordPress sites/blogs, I find Blogger much more easy to use for blogging purposes, with its limited functionalities helping the user to focus on the content and not the visuals or other aspects. Blogger used to have an old-fashioned user interface, but it was recently revamped and new options/themes were introduced. I find the upgraded Blogger much more appealing than its past version. Another thing I like is the mobile app that allows me to prepare new posts on the go, when I am not around my laptop. It is not perfect, but does the work for short posts enriched with images.

Cons:

Compared to other blogging platforms, Blogger has limited customization options (e.g. a few themes) and lacks the administrative/blog management options that one might want/need. Plus, I miss the integration with the now defunct Google+, where I was able to tag/mention friends and colleagues in my posts. When I adopted Blogger as my blogging platform, the integration with Google+ was definitely a factor that affected my selection. The lack of third-party add-ins, widgets etc. is also hard to go unnoticed - the blog would definitely benefit in terms of functionality and appearance from them, as in the case of WordPress. I also had a hard time when I tried to export the content and import it to another blogging platform. It may be possible with the use of third-party tools, but in no way it is a match for the formatted export options of WordPress. Last but not least, having a self-hosted blog based on Blogger does not seem to be an option, which is an issue for companies that need to integrate it in their own ecosystem and avoid being dependent on Google.

Reasons for choosing Blogger

We had a Wordpress-powered website back then, but we wanted a stand-alone blogging platform to be used individually - as a side project of the company's team. We liked WordPress (and we still do!) but we wanted something simpler to use than that. The advanced features of WordPress worked great for our website but might be an issue to our less technology-savvy team members. On the other hand, Tumblr also provided a simple blogging solution that we considered as an alternative and had some really nice features, too, such as for the easy integration of multimedia. However, having had the bad experience with the independent Posterous, we opted to use a platform backed by a major company (Google in this case).

Reasons for switching to Blogger

We started using Posterous shortly after it was launched, as we loved its simplified approach to blogging because we were actually looking for something minimalistic. We loved the option to publish posts through emails (especially handy when on the road) and this helped us maintain an informal blog in the form of a bulletin, like each team member putting a post-it (his post) on a large canvas (our Posterous blog). However, after Posterous ceased its operation, we have to move to another platform and we opted for Blogger, thanks to its simplified approach as well.

The best and the free blogging platform for beginners

Although WordPress is my best recommendation for serious Bloggers, but if you want a free blogging platform, no web hosting, and acquire Google AdSense faster, then I would recommend Blogger for newbies. My experience with Blogger was cool via the pros that I mentioned earlier but the side effects of using Blogger is something I do not recommend for any serious blogger out there. Get web hosting, optimize your website, and rank very high on Google and other search engines, which is one of the goals of every serious blogger.

Pros:

My main blog today began with Blogger blog builder, and I would say Blogger it's probably the best when you talk about free blogging, no web hosting and it's easier to acquire Google AdSense on your blog because they own the platform.

Cons:

Blogger is 100% free simply doesn't mean everything is perfect, I recently switched to WordPress because I couldn't customize my blog to my desired taste, and for me to do so, I must either approach third party websites to acquire HTML codes or go on Fiverr or Upwork to get a freelancer to do that for me, all in wasting of money. WordPress has unlimited plugins that do assist me in running my blog without approaching any random website, and I believe, every free stuffs got limitations just like Blogger.

Reasons for switching to Blogger

I needed web hosting to secure my blog and it's files, compete with top level domains, rank high on search engines, and the ability to control and run my blog with the help of WordPress plugins, which some are even free to use, all because Blogger couldn't provide any of the above mentioned, for me.

Could be Great... If Google Remembered It Existed

I was looking for an inexpensive way to run a freelance blog. As a Google user, I was hoping Blogger would be the answer. While they have thrown paint on some parts of the site to make it feel "modern," there have not been significant developments in years. I really wanted to like Blogger, but it seems like Google hasn't gotten around to officially killing it yet.

Pros:

I love that I can create blogs for free and that they integrate with my Google Account.

Cons:

Blogger has not seen a major update in years. They have a couple (in the single digits) of modern-ish themes, and the editor still resembles the old TinyMCE-based CMS software, not the modern block paradigm.

Reasons for choosing Blogger

I originally chose Blogger because it had a more generous free plan than Wordpress.com. However, I moved away after a couple of months.
