Here I m going to tell you how to write a blog post and publish it on Blogger with simple steps.

I know some new bloggers are really worried to start a blog but do not want to indulge themselves in various technical things.

They just want to start with passion and want to express their idea and craft to the world.

Hence google has a beautiful platform for those who are looking for a free platform to start a blog without investing any penny.

First, we need to know about Google Blogger. 

What Is Google Blogger?

Like wordpress.org, blogger is a content management system.

Pyra Laboratories created Blogger, the first tool for publishing blogs, in 1999. Google has acquired it in 2003.

With this platform, you may establish a blog free of cost. Google hosts blogs connected to its Blogger service via the blogspot.com subdomain.

Create A Google Bloggers Account

To create an account with google blogger you need to have a Gmail account first.

So if you already have a Gmail account you don’t have to worry. If you have no Gmail account yet create one first.

Now Visit blogger.com and then press the Create Your Blog button as shown below.

If you have already logged in with your Gmail it will ask you to log in or sign up with a Gmail account.

Once you signup as a blogger with a Gmail account you will be prompted to fill blog name.

It will ask you to choose and type as Title space as shown below.

I recommend putting the blog name in your title.
