Blogger Is A Fantastic Web-Based Blogging Service

We publish our blog here on Blogger because we love Blogger. Thanks to the support of Google, Blogger has kept evolving and improving to become a really user-friendly and yet highly customizable web-based blogging service.  The Blogger dashboard allows us to publish new posts by just pointing and clicking.  For those of us who just love to write but not to program computer codes, setting up a blog with a unique design is pretty easy.  We like that we can edit the template any time we want and it's flexible enough to allow numerous design variations with the  point-and-click tools.  In terms of flexibility of customization, ease of use, integrated social media and RSS syndication, we don't think there is another free blogging service that can beat Blogger, not when Blogger doesn't limit traffic and storage.  We can't think of moving our blog to another blogging service when Blogger provides the seamless and automatic integration with Google AdSense that allows us an option to start earning advertising revenue in no time.

We highly recommend Blogger to those who have no experience in blogging or web design but are interested in give blogging a try.  Blogger is simple enough for the beginners to start and yet dynamic enough to allow you to learn and apply new web design knowledge at your own pace.

Adding a Blogger Contact Form Widget to a Blogger Page

It's always a good idea to provide a medium on your blog where anyone stumbles upon can contact you directly without having to leave your blog to log into their email account on another web site.  To do this on Blogger, it used to require coding or widget of a third party widget provider.  But not anymore, Google's Blogger had recently made it very easy to add a contact form on a Blogger blog's side bar by doing it through the "add gadget" function on Blogger dashboard.  For those of you who want to add the contact form on a separate page or a post but not the side bar, it's still very easy to do so with a little tweaking.  Just click here to learn how.

What Exactly Is A Blog?

A blog is like a journal that contains frequent and periodic posts from an individual or business who owns and runs the blog. I see it as journal keeping on the internet. A blog post can be about anything the blogger wants to write about for the moment, it can be an opinion about a product, or merely the blogger's specific sentiment of the day. When it comes to blogging, it's all about free expressions of one's thoughts and the exchange of conversation with others on any topic whenever the blog's owner chooses to. You can see some topic examples on the popular blogs we list here our blog's sidebar on the right. A blog can be a private online journal which only the blog's owner or his / her certain permitted family and friends can read, or it can be a public blog that the whole world can read.

What makes blogging popular is its easy to use platforms, and its social aspects that allow the bloggers to engage in networking and exchange of conversations with fellow bloggers or whoever they choose to network with. Blogging is now made so easy that anyone can become a blogger. If you don't believe it, just create a blog here on Blogger.com and see it yourself.
