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. > > 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. ----- ### "A free blogging platform with some limitations to consider" — 4.0/5 > **Vassilis** | *23 August 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Relatively easy way of getting your thoughts online" — 3.0/5 > **Julian** | *23 October 2024* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "write your articles on blogger" — 4.0/5 > **Oussama** | *2 August 2022* | Import & Export | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I love most about Blogger and perhaps its best feature is that the site is free and it will not cost you much to start writing, especially if you are in your beginning as a blogger, It allows you unlimited hosting that provides you with any amount of memory you need to write your articles, regardless of their size and length. I would also like to point out that Blogger is easy to use and simple, and it will not require you to have any experience or specialized education to use it I can also say that I am very impressed with the speed achieved by this blogger template, it is very fast compared to other blog templates Another feature that I can praise over Blogger is security. Blogger is completely secure and provides bloggers with protection from hacking. > > **Cons**: Despite all the advantages offered by Blogger, many points must be reviewed to provide a better experience for bloggers, one of the most prominent of these points is that the site is very strict, a simple mistake that violates the rules of the platform, whether intentional or not, it exposes you as a blogger to consequences up to the deletion of all your blogs I can also point out that you may encounter difficulties in transferring files and images, especially from one hosting to another, especially if you do not have experience in developing websites. The other negative point from my point of view is that the platform's development capabilities are limited and are limited to the form and design only, and it does not allow you to create a professional contact page, for example, or add multiple payment methods as you want > > I used Blogger previously to blog about my experience with hearing loss and cochlear implants, and I found it an ideal way to share my personal experience with people who suffer from hearing loss, especially those who had accidents that led them to this condition, and we are glad that the advice in this area is long listed because it is very long. Blogger as an ideal platform to share this type at the lowest costs, especially as it is volunteer work, as well as the fact that people with hearing impairment tend to written content that helps them understand better, so blogger was simply an ideal way to accomplish this work for me ----- ### "Blogger is too good for content" — 5.0/5 > **Danish** | *19 December 2021* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: love to upload content on blogger as it gives free domain and everything and its the startup and dream for every blogger, I can say its the first step for us in the tech domain > > **Cons**: Although it is good, I think it's Lil bit tough to manage for non-tech people as if we want to redesign and something related to custom so it is tough to do that. Although it's fantastic for content writing > > overall if I say so I love to do content writing on blogger platform, as it is best for blogging and everyone knows this is the best platform fr bloggers and all audience knows about a blogger, although it provides free everything so we can earn much without spending a small coin ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/262729/blogger?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/262729/blogger) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
