Have you ever tried blogspot?

There are so many blogging platforms out there. Some of them are quite cool. Blogspot is one such kind of free blogging platform that allows you to create a free blog for yourself. I have tried it, but I never liked its built-in themes, as they do not look professional. That's one of the main reasons why I don't use it. So, have you ever tried it? What are your views about it?;

I remember creating. Blogspot blog a couple of decdes ago. Blogspot is not customizable platform like Wordpress. I believe that it could have improved in the past few years. However, it seems like not much was done in order to improve it. Having said that, I have tried the free version of Blogspot. I am not sure if paid version might be better. Regardless of that, blogspot remains one of the most popular platforms out there.

Yes, it’s a good option for creating free blogs; it’s one of the few platforms that allows you to publish an indexed blog while also monetizing it with ads from other companies. However, hardly anyone uses Blogspot these days—it’s a thing of the past. Nowadays, people generally pay for a domain and a site to host their own blog.

I would not recommend blogspot if you are trying to create an incredibly high-quality blog. It is much better to go for WordPress. I would personally like WordPress and prefer it over blogspot. If you are a newbie who wants to experienent with blogs, then it would be a good idea to opt for blogspot under such kind of circumstances.

Sure, but one thing about Blogspot is that it’s 100% free. You can still customize it—there are various themes you can apply, or you can edit the source code; it’s more complex, but customization is definitely possible. That said, I completely agree with you that, over the years, instead of improving, it has stayed exactly the same. This is in contrast to WordPress, which is the best platform out there for building websites in general—though it does come at a cost; if you don’t pay, it’s not really functional.

I used it back in the old days when it was actually called BlogSpot.

I was really basic back then.

I don’t remember the name of the blog I used back then.

(Homepage back when I used it^)

The first blog I ever created was on blogspot. That was back in 2007. I created the blog to republish my newspaper articles. However, the blog was short lived. I got tired and I ended up deleting the blog. I went back to blogspot many years later but this time I was using custom domain

I actually started my blogging life on blogger or blogspot since it is free but I didn't like it because of Google's meddling. Like anything that is free it comes with its limitations. Customization is restricted. The theme isn't worth it. There is high level of SEO failure with it. Using blogspot Is a little bit boring and It's tough To make money with it
