Blogger is one of those options.
It is currently owned by Google and is one of the most popular blog providers available.
Blogger provide an easy and user friendly interface making it quite simple to begin blogging within minutes.
Back in 1999 a company called Pyra Labs first conceived the idea for the software that runs Blogger.
The initial name derived from the term 'web-logger' this platform was designed to allow the users to be able to share content, links and other media.
A great benefit of Blogger is how quickly new posts are registered by Google.
In some cases a new post on your blog will appear only a matter of minutes later within the search engine results.
This makes blogger a keen favourite with many SEO gurus.
Setting up an account with Blogger is extremely simple and will only take you a couple of minutes.
You will be able to design the layout of your blog from text colour, backgrounds and much more.
The onboard blog designer is very intuitive and you'll be able to have an original looking blog in no time at all.
Once you're happy with how your blog looks you'll be able to start loading up content.
A blog is the perfect tool to share news, images, videos, links and anything of interest.
Blogger allows guests to your blog the option of commenting upon your posts.
This type of feedback is great for engaging content and really lets you get to know your audience and you will soon be able to make some useful contacts.
The great thing about a blog is that your visitors will be able to sign up for your RSS feed.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.
This automatically keeps them up to date with recent posts that you have made.
An alert will be sent straight to their mail box.
The trick to creating a popular blog is to provide great content.
Be sure that your posts are all unique content and are interesting.
The more people link to an interesting article the more popular your blog will become.
