Blogger’s easy-to-use interface and free templates still draw many users looking to create a blog, making it a popular choice for those in search of a blogging platform. If you’re one of them, this article is tailored for you.
Learn how to easily and quickly set up a blog on Blogger in just five simple steps. Follow the guide to create your own blog! 🙂
Creating a blog on Blogger.
- Blogger access
- Access your Google account by signing in or registering for one.
- Create a Blogger profile or utilize your Google+ profile.

To start a blog on Blogger, you must possess a Google account. If you do not have one yet, you can easily create a complimentary account by following the provided instructions.
Go to the Blogger website and click on “Start Session” or “Create Your Blog” after the page loads.
Log in to your Google account or set one up.
Google sign-in page
Clicking will prompt a Google login page to show up. If you possess a Google account, input your information and continue. If you do not own one, select “more options” and then “create account”.
Google account registration page
If you decide to set up an account, you will encounter a similar screen. Provide the necessary information to establish your Google account. After finishing this procedure, sign in to Blogger to continue following the steps.
3. Set up a Blogger profile or utilize your Google+ profile.
Profile Confirmation Screen for Blogger
The profile confirmation login screen allows you to choose between creating a profile on Google+ or a limited profile on Blogger.
There is no cost to create your account on Google+, but you are also not required to do so. If you want your profile to be public and have more visibility, it might be worth creating the profile on Google+. While the social network is not popular in Brazil, this will facilitate your access to other Google products.
See Google’s own statement on this.
Having a Google+ Profile allows you to establish your presence across Google’s platforms and engage with your audience, enabling them to share and endorse your content online and on Google+. If you prefer to use a different identity, such as a pseudonym, you can opt for a restricted Blogger profile.
Choose a title for your profile
Choosing a name for the profile on Blogger.
It’s time to select a name for your profile. I chose a limited Blogger profile to avoid making a social network account. If you choose Google+, you’ll have to pick a name for your social network profile as well.
After creating the name, proceed to Blogger and you will arrive at your dashboard. The next exciting step is creating your blog by selecting “create new blog”.

Select the title, URL, and design for your blog.
Create a fresh blog on Blogger.
When you click on “create new blog,” a screen will show up where you can enter the blog information, including the title (blog name) and the address (like mylindoblog.blogspot.com). The address provided here is free and operates within the “blogspot” domain. This address can later be switched to a custom domain. Blogger, unlike other website building platforms, permits the use of its own domain at no cost.
You are free to select the title of your blog, but the availability of the blogspot address on Blogger will determine your choice. The website will indicate if the address is available as you type it in. Keep trying different names until you find one that is available.
You will also have to select one of the 11 models listed, which can be easily changed at no cost later on.
When you have selected the name, address, and theme, you are prepared to begin! 😊
Click “Create Blog” and you’re all set! Just customize it to your liking.
After setting up the blog, you will be taken to the Blogger dashboard, where you can manage pages and posts, interact with comments, customize the theme and layout, and carry out other blog-related tasks.

I have established my blog. What should I do next?
I suggest utilizing a personalized domain for your blog to enhance its professional appearance and credibility, rather than using a generic “blogspot” address, which may have a negative impact on your blog’s image and potential business opportunities. Here are the steps to configure a custom domain on Blogger.
Blogger is the sole platform that enables this service without charge. The only cost involved is the domain registration fee, ranging from R $ 40 to R $ 50 annually. The list compares the top domain registration companies in Brazil.
Another crucial element in giving your blog a professional appearance is its visual aspect. Put effort into selecting a suitable blog theme or consider investing in a professional one available for purchase on platforms such as ThemeForest.
