What is blog?

A blog  is an online journal or informational website displaying information in reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first, at the top. It is a platform where a writer or a group of writers share their views on an individual subject.

Definition of a blogger

A blogger is someone who runs and controls a blog. He or she shares his or her opinion and knowledge on different topics for a target audience.

Now let's talk into the Blogger CMS which is acquired by google is also running it. First of all the question comes into my mind that you are also wondering of is what is this blogger. Don't worry we are here to tell you about this , Blogger is a free blogging platform that's designed for ease. Because it's owned by Google, users can link it to various other Google products, like photo-sharing site Picasa . Using the basic blog design options, you can get a new blog up and running in less than 10 minutes.

let's talk about pros of using blogger

1. Free domain /hosting

you can create your first blogging website without spending any money by just signing to the blogger. your domain name would be like your_blog_name.blogspot.com.

2. Use of own domain name

you can easily use your domain name by just moving your domain's nameservers without any extra fee.

3. Backup and restore

you can backup and restore your blog posts  and themes by just one click in the settings.

4. Import Blogposts

you can import your blog posts by selecting the XML file which contains your previous backups.

5. Easy to use 

blogger is designed for the ease of use . it is designed in a way  that a person without a rechnical knowledge can use it without any difficulty.

6. Unlimited posts

You can write unlimited posts in blogger their size can be anything.

now before making your final decision we want to let you know that as Blogger is a free platform so, it has some limitations as described below.

Limitations of Blogger

1. Blogs

you can have maximum of 100 blogs per account.

2. Image storage

you can have maximum of 1 GB storage of images per account. However you can use google drive or anyother hosting websites to increse your storage and then you can use images by their links.

3. Upload Limit

you can upload only videos/images upto 1Gb size.

4. Php & Mysql support

Php & Mysql are not supported on the blogger i.e. you can't create login or sign up pages in your blog.

5. Label count

you can have maximum of 5000 lables per blog(not blogpost).

6. Favicon size

Favicon image must be a square  image (16 ✖ 16). its size must be under 100Kb.

7. Permalink Structure

The biggest problem that I don’t like in Blogspot is its permalink option. The blog has only one type of permalink structure which is [Website]/[Date]/[Post].

For example, if you have published a post on 20 june 2021 then its permalink will be like this (https://e1very.blogspot.com/2021/06/20-css-minifier.html).

8. Deletion of blog

The biggest drawback of using blogger is that google can delete your blog without any notice if your blog does not comply with their content poilicies. so, backup your posts everyday.
