Blogger is really a useful solution for those who want to create a simple blog, just write articles and publish. Google takes care of everything else. Because it is a free platform, we can only interact with Blogger using HTML and Javascript.

Introducing Blogger

Google Blogger is a weblog publishing platform, founded by Pyra Labs in August 1999 and later acquired by Google in February 2003 and made Blogger free. After being acquired, Google continued to develop and released a beta version on August 14, 2006. The official version was launched in December 2006 later.

Some characteristics of Blogger:
