Blogging has a bright future. At least if we can believe recent surveys. Everybody who would like to try himself at this activity, can choose from many services with different features. One of the most popular options is Blogger.
Being among top ten sites in the world measured by traffic for many years and being on good terms with major search engine, this is certainly a place to consider. If we know it is integrated with several other services also owned by this giant corporation, especially with very popular AdSense, this is just another plus when we think about opening a blog.
It's completely free, we need only active Google Account (every user of Gmail has it) and it's really easy to use. Let's look at the background to understand what this platform has to offer and how to use it to one's full advantage.

Do you use Blogspot for blogging?
You are right, MBC, having a blog can be too much work sometimes. I also prefer working on Wizzly here right now, but having another place can be beneficial too. Thank for stopping by.
I had a blog on blogspot but maintaining a blog became an issue for me. I prefer to write for Wizzley.
Indeed, CruiseReady! I abandoned several blogs for years, but recently started publishing in couple of them and the traffic came back surprisingly fast. It looks the age of blog is important factor too.
I had a blogspot blog years ago, and was developing a following, but pretty much let it drop several years ago. Maybe it's time to revive it...
@jptanabe: Thanks for your comment. I hope you'll get a chance to try both of them. We have a saying it's always good to have more than one iron in the fire!
Yes, I started with Blogspot but I have now started using Wordpress as well. They both have pros and cons, of course!
@candy47: It's good to work on both - in my opinion blogspot is a bit easier for beginners, but wordpress offers more choices and is better platform if you intend to work with your own sites.
I have a couple of Blogspot blogs, but I'm going to try my hand at Wordpress.
