Easy Step by Step blogging - simple, effective and expandable

This site is about how to start blogging easily using Google's FREE blog services called Blogger.com

There are many similar sites containing a lot of advance information. However, quite a lot of them are philosophical. One may want to blog about what he is passion about but may not be interested to learn all the tricks of blogging and yet hopping the blog can be wide spread, ie. more people can share his passion. Hence, learning all the technical jargons in Internet may become a turn off sometimes. This site skips all the reasoning and philosophy and straight away tells you the steps that you can follow.

Many successful bloggers also made statements like if you want to make money in blogging, you must own a domain, start with wordpress not blogger etc. But a lot of those statements although correct, but only correct as a historical event. So paying some sum of money is NOT the only way to start a blog that can earn money. One can as well make good money with all the existing FREE resources. So ALL steps shown in this site ARE FREE unless otherwise mentioned.

Although you can actually host the blog using your own domain name but All blogs created in blogger has the root domains of ( URL ends with ) blogspot.com by default.
