. Blogger has several blog templates available as well as third party resources and widgets you can access for free. Using Blogger for all your niche uses is a no brainer.
Blogger is so versatile and easy to use that anyone can use it. You just sign up, go though a few easy set up steps and then you can start posting right away. When you want to edit the layout of the page there is an interface that is easy to use and lets you add or edit many other widgets
There are so many free resources available online it is easy to do many things with your blog. I am going to cover a few of these here.
"Blog Roll and Link List: These are the most common features on a blog. They help the blogger who has the list and also the blogs on the list. The people who are on the list will hopefully put you on their list also. These lists are easy to set up, very easy to edit and easy to move around in the layout too. You should have one if not both of these things.
"Adsense: Blogger is owned by Google, so most of the templates are automatically set up to be adsense ready. With a simple click of the button you can add advertising to your blog. It is an easy way to monetize your blog.
"Social networking and Bookmarking buttons: These are pretty standard on most blog pages now and can be used either on the blog itself or attached to each entry. The 4 best buttons to use are Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and Stumbleupon. There are almost countless designs of buttons available for free, so you can find one that works best with your blog design.
"Tracking: This is an essential service that should be used by everyone that blogs. There are tons of free services online that offer stat tracking for your blog. You should do this as soon as you post your first post. This is the only way to track how your blog is doing and what posts attract more traffic so you will know what to write about later.
One of the other things that Blogger lets you take advantage of is that you become part of a community. Everyone that uses Blogger to create a blog is then entered into the system and may be found if searched for.
