What is Blogger?

Blogger is an online publishing platform where you can create your own blog by posting original content such as writing, photos and videos. Blogs are created using templates or self-created designs and hosted for free on Blogspot.com or paid custom domains (URLs). Once your blog has been created on a desktop browser, you can access a reduced set of features on the Blogger mobile app. Blogger is designed to work in conjunction with other Google owned platforms including Google AdSense and Google Analytics.
