First let me tell you about Blogger.com in brief. It is a platform which users can create a website using this platform. It is one of the products from Google.com. There might be some other platform like Wordpress.com and others out there. But I personally prefer Blogger.com. And I will tell you why I prefer this more than the others.
There are of course advantages and disadvantages of using this platform to create your website. And I am going to list out all that and make a recommendation for you if this is suitable for your need. You can just skim through the details and choose according to what you want.
Advantages of using Blogger.com
- It costs you nothing to start up your website
- Nice templates and free themes out there
- Search engine friendly, good SEO optimization
- Never face a server down time
- You can export your content from blogger.com to Wordpress.com
- You can publish your content into books easily
Disadvantages of using Blogger.com
- Cannot control the user information
- Almost one way distribution
- Limited features
- No direct access to files
- The ownership still remains to Blogger.com
- Long domain name (i.e if you want a custom domain name like www.yoursite.com, you must buy it. It costs approximately $ 10 per year)
The above are the pros and cons of using Blogger.com. There might be some others which I maybe missing out. However, basically those are the main important ones which you have to take into account when you are about to build your website.
My recommendation for Blogger.com
- You do not want to invest any penny
- You do not have a lot of data or information to be posted
- You do this for personal hobby or small website just for information sharing
- You do not need to manage your user information
- You want to promote your other main websites or products
- You may quit writing in the future
These are the recommendation points for you to think about in order to decide if you should use Blogger.com to build up your website. As you can see blogging is just more or less a hobby or doing it for fun. If you gonna make it as a business level, then it may not be a good choice for you. But if you choose this option, I have the recommendation templates according to your needs and the tutorials both in writing and in videos. I hope, this is helping you to build up your website and start sharing things like me!
