Blogger Definition
Blogger is a multi-user blog publishing
service with time-stamped entries, and it is one of the most effective
publishing platforms for publishing your blog. Generally, blogs are hosted
by Google itself, on a subdomain of blogspot.com, and you can have up to 100
blogs per account.
Initially, all blogs were allowed to be published on different hosting
servers but later moved to Google's own servers, with domains other than
blogspot.com allowed via custom domain URLs. In layman's language, we can
simply say, Blogger.com is a free platform owned by Google where you can
create blogs and share whatever you want, it may be a personal blog or a
professional blog on a particular topic. Blogger, which is a web blogger,
has grown in popularity over the past three years.
