Moreover, there are thousands of free blogger templates which you can use to give a professional look to your website. Let\u2019s begin with the step by step guide for creating a website for free.<\/p>\n

STEP 1: Login to Blogger<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go to http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/home<\/a> and sign in with your gmail id and password, if you don\u2019t have an account, you can create it for free by clicking on the \u201csign up\u201d button at the top right corner as shown in the screenshot. Blogger belongs to Google that\u2019s the reason why, you would be needing a gmail account for building a website on blogspot.<\/p>\n

STEP 4: Provide Website\u2019s Domain Name and Title<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this step, you would need to provide the title and address of your website. You must know that, since these domain names are free, they would be suffixed with blogspot.com by default. Blogspot, also provides us with the option of buying custom domain names.<\/p>\n

The domain name must be unique. There are chances that the domain name you wanna choose is already registered. In that case you must need to try a different domain name until and unless a blue tick appears at the right side of the Address field.<\/p>\n

Once it\u2019s done, choose a template (you can choose any template at this point, you would be able to change it later at any point of time.) and click on “Create Blog!”<\/p>\n

STEP 5: Offer for an Optional Personalized Domain<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may be prompted to find a personalized domain name for your new blog immediately. If you want to do this, scroll through the list of suggested domains, view the price per year, and make your choice. Otherwise, skip this option.<\/p>\n

STEP 6: Write Your First Post<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You’re now ready to write your first blog post on your new Blogger.com blog. Don’t be intimidated by the empty screen.<\/p>\n

Click on the “Create a New Post” button to get started. Type a brief message in the field and click the Preview button at the top of the screen to see what your post will look like in the theme you selected. The Preview loads in a new tab, but this action does not publish the post.<\/p>\n

Your preview may look exactly like you want, or you may if wish you could make something bigger or bolder to get attention. And that’s where formatting comes in. Close the Preview tab and return to the tab where you are composing your post and start formatting your post according to your wish.<\/p>\n

STEP 7: Visit Y<\/strong>our Website<\/strong><\/h4>\n
