How to Create Free Blog in Blogger 2016
It's no doubt that paid service is superior than free service but if you are new to blogging and has not any experience and also do not want to spend money for it as starting then blogger is more valuable for you.
I personally think blogger is better for beginners it is easy to use. If you are new in blogging field and don't want to spend a single penny on blogging i suggest blogger not WordPress becouse Blogger is a blogging service provided by the tech giant Google. It is free, reliable most of the time, and quite enough to publish your stuff on the web, whereas WordPress is paid and cost around $4.5 month.
Don't worry you can easly switch Blogger to WordPress later without losing any content when your blog grow up and start generating enough money for hosting WordPress Blog, We will talk deeply about it later but first lets focus on creating blog.
