Blogger, today more known as Blogspot, is one of many properties owned by Google. Everybody with an active Google account (registered Gmail service for instance) can start blogging right away and can open many blogs with only one account. Even more - we can create blogs with multiple users, integrate Adsense, generate traffic and build a real business with no upfront costs in a relatively short amount of time.
But like other Google properties, it can be abandoned in virtually no-time. Their clumsy transition from HTTP to HTTPS standard (enforced by Google, by the way) is just one of dozens of examples of Google's handling of its own 'family'. We have recently seen how Google Plus, a powerful, yet too late born alternative to Facebook and Twitter died despite hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the project. We have seen numerous great blogging platforms (Blog.com, Posterous.com) being shut down in last years and we'll definitely see more.
It's also a well-known fact we should not carry all the eggs in one basket, so it's logic to have one blog on Blogger and open another in a different environment if we need two or more blogs for whatever reason. This is where the alternatives come handy. This post is all about alternatives. It will shortly introduce several options with their main pros and cons for unskilled users. There will also be a few examples where you can see how the result looks.

Can you add another interesting free blogging platform?
Thank you for the link to the WordPress blogging platform.
The top beautiful places always can be found among my favorite interests. In particular, I like the beginning information relating to Adrian and Marianne Stokes, about whom I've read in Tolovaj's wizzlies.
I think there was an idea to add some kind of 'like' button in the search results but this never became a reality. Anyway, we all experience more of less 'personificated' results.
The second paragraph to your introduction reminds us that "We have recently seen how Google Plus, a powerful, yet too late born alternative to Facebook and Twitter died despite hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the project."
Were there any Google Plus-specific attributes that were abandoned or that, with death, were recycled into other Google offerings?
Hi, DerdriuMarriner! It depends from case to case. Local language is always welcome but others are sometimes frowned upon. I had problems with some blogging sites in France and Hungary, so it's best to check their Terms of Service (which frequently change) and have a good backup to move your content, for any reason it's blocked.
It's interesting that there are sustainable free blogs connected with other countries, such as France, Hungary and Japan.
Would the above-mentioned blogs in particular, and free, other-country blogs in general, let any language be used in the published articles?
