How to create a blog with Blogger? Rules for creating a blog
To create a blog on Blogger you need to use a laptop or computer and it is important to have an internet connection.
As I mentioned before, you need to have a Gmail or Google account to create a blog.
If the above essential things are ready, you can create your own blog in Blogger by following the steps mentioned below.
Step 1. Login to Google account:
First you need to Blogger from your computer or laptop. com website.
After going to the website you will see the blogger home page.
You directly click on the link or button that says "Create your blog".
After clicking on the “Create blog” button, you will see the Google account login page.
On the account login page, enter your Gmail ID and password and login to your Google account.
Remember, logging into your Gmail account means logging into your blogger account.
You don't need to create a separate blogger account. After login with Gmail your Blogger account will be created.
Step 2. Set blogger profile name:
Now after login with gmail account you will be logged in blogger website builder platform.
First you need to set the profile name of your blogger profile.
Then you will see that "welcome to blogger" is written above and "confirm your profile" is written below.
You need to enter a profile name in the “Display name” box below.
You can give any name like I have given “banglatech”.
Remember, the profile name you provide will be displayed with the articles published on your blog.
It means that articles will be published or promoted on your blogger blog with this profile name.
So now give a good profile name and click on “Continue to blogger” button below.
Step 3. Create blog from Blogger dashboard:
Now on the next page you will see blogger dashboard.
Since there is no pre-created blog in your blogger account, a button or link called "create new blog" will be shown below.
Then you have to click on “create new blog” link.
Step 4. New Blog Info:
Now you will see some options on your computer screen like “title”, “address”, “theme”.
Before creating a blog on Blogger, you need to complete these 3 options well.
Title – Here you have to write something about your blog in one line. This is called the blog title. For better understanding you see what title I have written in the image above.
Address – In this section you have to set the URL address of your blogger blog. You can set any URL by name. For example, nasimblogg.blogspot.com.
But remember that if your given blog address is available, you can use it.
If the provided URL address is available, you will be shown “this blog address is available”. Otherwise, you need to provide another address.
However, after creating a blog, you can definitely set a top level domain like in, .com or info for your blog.
Theme – Now you will see an option called theme where you will see many different website themes. Theme means pre-made blog design. The design of your blog will be set as you select the theme for the blog.
You have to directly select the one of your choice from the themes shown. Also, you can change the theme even after creating the blog. You will get suitable options for this.
Now if everything is ok then click on “create blog” option at the bottom right.
Step 5. SKIP Google domain option:
Now, on the next page you will see an option or box where “Google domain” is written.
Now you can register top level domain like in, com, info or org domain for your blogger blog in find a domain box.
Note that it may cost you some money to buy the domain.
But it is totally your personal choice. If you want then you can register top level domain for your blog from here.
If you do not want to register the domain or plan to purchase a top level domain later, click the “No thanks” link.
Remember, it is not mandatory or necessary to buy a top level domain and use it on blogger blog.
You can use Blogger's free blog URL address in your blog if you want.
So now directly click on “No thanks” link.
Step 6. Your blog is ready:
Now after clicking on no thanks link above your blogger blog creation process is complete.
You will now directly see your Blogger Blog Dashboard. And from here you can publish articles on your blog.
From Dashboard you can go to your blog address and see blog design or live view. And for that you have to click on the link of "View blog" then you can see it.
Apart from this, you can go to new post from your dashboard and write a new article or publish it.
Besides, you can set the theme for the newly created blog by going to the theme option.
Apply for Google AdSense AdSense from your blogger blog and click on “Earnings” button to earn money.
Simply put you will get all the options related to blogging from your blogger dashboard.
After creating the blog, go to the options and take a good look, you will understand the issues immediately.
Step 7. Visit your newly created blog:
To view your blog, click on the “view blog” option on the top left of your blogger dashboard.
In this you can access the blog you have created and view it.
If you want to visit your blog directly or if someone else wants to enter your blog directly, then you can find the blog by searching the URL address of your blog which you have given while creating the blog.
Blogger is better than WordPress for creating blogs?
See, I have been blogging for the last 7 years and if you ask me this question, my answer will be “WordPress”.
Because today blogging has completely become a professional business and therefore you also have to create a blog in a completely professional manner.
However, Blogger is never a bad platform for blogging. Thousands of people around the world are currently creating blogs through blogger.
