Many people find creating a personal website difficult, but with just a few minutes of online research, you can have your very own blog up and running in no time. This tutorial will demonstrate how to use Blogger, often known as Blogspot, to construct a free website.
Isn’t it enthralling? I’ll even show you how to use Blogger to create a professional-looking site and get a free domain. It’s as simple as registering a Google Account to set up a Blogspot blog.
Let’s get started straight now, without further ado.
To establish a free website with Blogspot, sign up for a Google account. It’s because Blogger is owned by Google. Here’s how to make a free website with Blogger, step by step.
Create a Blog With Blogger (Blogspot.Com)
First and foremost, if you don’t already have one, you must make one. If you do, go to Blogger.Com and sign in using your Google Account to gain access to all of Google’s free tools.
Once you’ve logged into Google’s Blogger service, you should see this page. The first step is to start a blog with a name that best expresses you. For the time being, I’m going with MyMakeMoneyBlog.
Install a Theme on Your Free Blogger Website
After you’ve created your blog using the domain YOURCHOICE.Blogspot.Com, go to the left side of your Blogger dashboard and click “Theme.” Choose a Blogger template that is already available. But I wouldn’t say I enjoy it on a regular basis.
So I’ll pick one of the most professional-looking free Blogger themes. You may do the same by downloading and uploading a theme to your free Blogger website. This is how it’s done:
-Download one of these free Blogger themes
-Go to the ‘Theme’ section
-Click on the down arrow to the right of the ‘Customize’ button
-Choose to go for ‘Restore.’
-And upload the theme you have selected for your blog
You may also customise any theme by selecting it and clicking the ‘Customize’ option. For this demo, I’ve picked the ‘Polar’ theme. However, depending on your niche, you can select a Blogger template.
Change Logo & Favicon on Blogger
Of course, the default logo will be Blogger’s. To make your free Blogger site look professional, you must now submit your logo and Favicon. To accomplish this,
-Go to ‘Layout’ from the dashboard and click on the ‘Change Cover’ button in the blog dashboard left sidebar
-Choose a blog cover from Blogger templates that
-Upload Logo in the ‘Cover image’ section.
-Go to ‘Settings’ from the left bar
-Scroll down a bit and choose ‘Favicon.’
-Choose a file and ‘Save’ your Favicon
But how are you going to make your logo and Favicon? Of course, Canva is the solution.
-Discover the size of your logo (already uploaded in a template)
-Go to Canva
-Click on ‘Create a Design’ and choose the custom size
Start designing your logo or Favicon for free with Canva’s extensive tools. Canva is a user-friendly design platform for non-designers, including free design elements, templates, and more.
Add Posts & Featured Images on Blogger
Start adding content to your free Blogger website now that it’s up and running. Posts and featured photographs can be added.
You can use Canva to produce free pictures for beautiful photos once more. It does, however, offer premium subscriptions with additional features.
Here’s how you add featured images to your posts
-Go to the ‘Post’ section in the left column of your Blogger dashboard.
-Click on ‘Add New.’ And it will look like this:
So, for your blog post, choose any number of appropriate photographs or utilize Canva to produce one for free. Go to ‘Settings’ and then ‘Post Settings’ to select the proper image size for your post thumbnail.
Create the Menu in Blogger
If you haven’t already, you should add some layout to your free Blogger blog. The most effective method is to design a menu for your website.
In the left sidebar, select ‘Layout’ and then ‘Add a Gadget.’ Continue scrolling until you reach this section:
Choose ‘Menu’ and drag it. You’re good to go after making a couple of changes. That’s how simple it is to make a menu on your free Blogspot website.
Add Social Links in Blogger
As your Blogger free blog takes shape, the next logical step is to include social media sharing buttons. It will boost your social proof and raise your readers’ faith in you.
You’ll also start promoting yourself on social media. Using Blogger, you may add social links to your free website.
Click on ‘Layout’ and choose ‘Add a Gadget’ on the left sidebar.
-Scroll down all the way and choose ‘HTML/Javascript.’
-Add your social media links.
You can also create your own social media icons for free with Canva. Alternatively, you can download some of the copyright-free icons. I don’t need to build social media icons because the theme I chose for this example already includes them.
Create Important Pages (Privacy Policy & Terms of Use)
Now that your free website is up and running, it’s time to fill in the blanks with information about yourself, your privacy policy, and your terms of service. People will want to read these disclaimers before they start using your stuff.
These pages are necessary for dealing with legal issues and for search engines like Google to index your site. These pages can be written by you, but it will take a lot of time and knowledge.
You can use this FREE Privacy Policy Generator-
-Jump on to H-Supertools.com
-Hover over to ‘Web Tools’ from the menu
-Go to Privacy Policy Generator
-Enter your Website Name and Address
-Click on ‘Generate Privacy Policy’
And boom! You’ve just made a free privacy statement for your website. If you’re making a ‘Terms of Use’ page, follow the same steps. Make a terms page for your website using the free Terms & Conditions Generator.
Build the About and Contact Pages in Blogger
It’s time to fill in the blanks on your free Blogger website with more information about yourself and your business. To add any page to Blogger, follow these steps:
-Go to ‘Pages’ in the left menu
-Click New Page
-Enter a page title (About & Contact in this instance)
-Add the relevant information
-Click Save, Preview page, or Publish in the top right of the dashboard
In the same way, you may make a contact page. However, you may need to use Blogger’s widget library to create a ‘Contact’ widget.
Add a Custom Domain to Your Free Blogger Website
If you’re like me, you might wish to remove the.blogspot.com component from your site’s URL. You could wish to add a custom domain name for it, and here’s how to do it.
-Go to ‘Settings’
-Click on ‘Custom Domain’
-Add your custom domain and click ‘Save.’
If you don’t already have a domain name, Namecheap is a good place to start. Change the DNS settings as instructed by Blogger when you first added your custom domain name.
But, We said that you can create a website with Blogger for ABSOLUTELY FREE!!
Yes, you’re right. You have created a free website with Blogspot by now.
You can get a free .tk domain or free name on Freenom as well.
