Your First Site on Blogger


If you landed here, you've found the absolute quickest way to publish a web site. Blogger is by far the fastest and relatively easy way to get up and running on the web. All you need is a Google account and you're on your way.

If you need to get a site up fast, then this is it. I seem to always overlook or forget about Blogger and I don't know why because it's a fairly easy, very valuable and useful tool. Even if you already have a site on a paid host, Blogger is still extremely useful in creating links to your main site. You don't even need to buy a domain name but if you do want to use your own .com, Blogger does that as well. As you can see it's a fairly well rounded tool and best of all it's free, except if you want a domain name of course. I like free. Actually, it's the only free site builder I've used but I like it so far. There is a lot of help online if you get stuck, just do a Google search and you'll usually find your answer. Many use Blogger, so there are lots of Gadgets and other add-ons available.

Unlike the name suggests you don't necessarily need to have a blog site, you can create web pages if you wish, so if an actual blog doesn't interest you that shouldn't be a deal breaker.

Furthermore, if you're worried about your site always being up, which is a problem with some web hosts, then I would have to say having your site hosted by one of the biggest internet giants would be a pretty safe bet. If Google goes down, then we're all in huge trouble. And if you use a free subdomain (yourname.blogspot) you won't have to ever worry about renewing a domain name and if anything should happen to you, there are no hosting fees either. Basically, your Blogger site will be around for as long as there is a Google Blogger.

Your First Site on Blogger

If you landed here, you've found the absolute quickest way to publish a web site. Blogger is by far the fastest and easiest way to get up and running on the web. Now, I could easily tell you about Blogger from some fancy website built on totally different software but I thought it would be best to show from a site built on Blogger with a Blogger template and all Blogger tools and gadgets. All you need is a Google account and you're on your way. If you need to get a site up fast, then this is it. I seem to always overlook or forget about Blogger and I don't know why because it's an easy, valuable and useful tool. Even if you already have a site on a paid host, Blogger is still extremely useful in creating links to your main site. You don't even need to buy a domain name, you can use a FREE subdomain of your choice but if you do want to use your own .com, you can that as well.

Anti-virus on PC

Anti-virus on Windows PC or Not I suppose there are some instances where an anti-virus would not be necessary. If your PC never connects to the internet and if you don't download anything. Never connecting to the internet might be a tricky task as all PC's need to update. I guess I shouldn't say that either, I have a friend that never updates their computer and gets mad at the thought of it, saying, "Why does it need to update? It shouldn't have to do that!" Don't let ignorance be your enemy. I'll speak from my own experience. In my early computer days I went years without any anti-virus. My computer was very slow and I can only now imagine what it was infected with. Then I bought a new, faster computer and almost immediately encountered the 'blue screen of death'. With Malwarebytes and RKill I was able to get that computer up and running again but I always felt as if there was some remnants of that virus left behind. I installed a...

Site Publisher is NOT a Website Builder

Recently I was looking for a new web host, so I contacted live chat to get some information about the website builder this host was offering with their hosting plan. I won't mention this host by name but their live chat operator told me the sitebuilder they offered was called 'Site Publisher'. They then proceeded to tell me how good it was and I had a choice of templates and it was fully customizable. First off, let me say, Site Publisher is in no way shape or form a sitebuilder. Yes, you can publish a web page but it's not something a business nor personal site owner would be proud of. All this app is capable of is producing a temporary page while you're building an actual site. There is a choice of 12 single page templates covering different categories.  Then there are 10 pre-defined fields that you can fill in: 1) Business name 2) Tag line 3) Description header 4) Description (Describe your business) 5) Address 6) Phone number 7) Fax number 8) Email...
