 Feature Post #2 How to Create and Use a Blogger Blog The blog that I picked to review is named How to Create and Use a Blogger Blog. The first thing I really liked about this blog was the theme. Having a good theme for the blog really helps it feel more personal and put together. The theme doesn’t just stop with the look of the blog this student incorporates it into their posts. They use color that goes with the theme really well and a font that reflects the theme. Speaking of their posts, each one was really helpful. From the quick and to the point description followed by the pictures make it easy to follow. They also have added widgets to make the blog easier to navigate. The best one is the search bar.

 What You Should Know About Blogger Blogger is a great site to use if you’re just getting into blogging. Blogger is a 100% free site to use unlike other sites that will have hidden subscription fees. While on this journey of making and maintaining a blog I’ve tried a few different sites but none of them were as easy to navigate as Blogger. Creating new posts is simple with the button being front and center. It also is extremely easy to make your blog accessible to everyone. Blogger is a site owned by Google which makes adding extensions to make your blog accessible a breeze. Blogger allows you to add your own captions to uploaded videos or have auto generated ones.

Blogger has 12 different theme categories to choose from. Each different group will change the feel of your blog and help fit your topic even better.  How To Change your Blogs Theme
