Blogging and its taste
What is Google Blogger? What is Blogger? blogger definitions of google terms creating a blog google reviews Visit Their Website Blogger is Google’s free tool for creating blogs. It can be found on the
web at http://www.blogger.com. Blogs, short for web-logs, are a form
of online journal. Getting Started With Blogger You can use blogs for everything from
updating your friends and family
about your life, giving your own
advice column, discussing your
political views, or relating your
experience in a topic of interest. You can host blogs with multiple
contributors, or you can run your own
solo show. You can even use Blogger to make your own podcast feeds. Although there are fancier blog tools
out there, the mixture of cost (free)
and flexibility makes Blogger one of
the best deals around. Setting Up Your Blog Setting up a Blogger account takes
three easy steps. Create an account,
name your blog, and choose a
template. You can host multiple blogs
with the same account name, so you
only need to do that part once. This way you could separate your
professional blog about your business
from your personal blog about dogs,
for instance. Hosting Your Blog Blogger will host your blog for free on
blogspot.com. You can also use
Blogger to automatically ftp your blog
posts to your own web space. Make
sure you have the correct server
settings from your internet service provider, otherwise you may have
unpredictable results. Posting Once your blog is set up, Blogger has a
basic WYSIWYG editor. (What you see is
what you get) This is not necessarily a
bad thing. Most blogging tools do not
have robust html editors, and the ones
that do often require java or other plug-ins. If you need more formatting options
and a larger window, you can use Google Docs to post to your Blogger blog. You could also do advanced
editing with HTML. Blogger has an
HTML tab to let you do this directly,
although it does not allow JavaScript. Email Your Posts You can optionally configure Blogger
with a secret email address, so you can
email your posts to your blog. This is
handy for making updates on the fly
or updating from your cell phone or
other mobile device. Pictures Blogger will let you upload pictures
from your desktop and post them to
your blog. You can choose the basic
layout and size of your images, and
they’ll be uploaded to Bloggers’s
server space, so you don’t have to host the pictures on a different
website. That doesn't mean you can't post with
pictures that you've hosted elsewhere
on the Web. You can also use Picasa Web Albums to post pictures to your blog. Google Video and YouTube videos can similarly be directly linked into your
blog posts. Visit Their Website Previous 1 2 Next How to Upload a Movie to Google
