How to Create a Blogger Website in 2025 — Step-by-Step Guide
Starting a blog on Blogger (by Google) is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to publish content online. In this guide you will learn everything from creating an account, choosing a blog name, customizing the design, connecting a custom domain, to publishing and optimizing your first post for search engines. This guide is beginner-friendly and written in simple language — follow each step and you'll have a live blog today.
Quick overview — what you will do
- Create a Blogger account and a new blog.
- Choose a theme and customize layout.
- Set up essential settings (privacy, search preferences).
- Connect a custom domain (optional but recommended).
- Publish your first SEO-friendly post and verify with Google Search Console.
Before you start — what you need
- A Google account (Gmail) — required for Blogger.
- Blog name and short description (keep it simple).
- If using a custom domain: domain access (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy).
- Optional: a cover image (1200×675 recommended) — not required to publish.
Step 1 — Create your Blogger blog
- Open Blogger: Go to
https://www.blogger.comand sign in with your Google account. - Create New Blog: Click “Create New Blog”, choose a name (e.g., Digital Skill Empire), and pick a short, unique blog address (subdomain of blogspot.com) or a custom domain later.
- Choose a theme: Pick any simple theme — you can customize it later. Choose a clean layout for faster load times.
Step 2 — Basic settings to configure
- Settings → Basics: Add a blog description and contact email.
- Settings → Privacy: Make sure your blog is visible to search engines if you want traffic.
- Settings → Posts, comments and sharing: Decide comment moderation — for beginners, allow comments but moderate.
- Settings → Email: Set up a posting email if you want to publish by email.
Step 3 — Customize appearance
Go to the Themes section and then Customize. Focus on:
- Layout: Keep header, main column, and one sidebar. Too many gadgets slow the site.
- Fonts: Use readable fonts (system fonts or Google Fonts). Keep font sizes comfortable (16px body, 20–28px headings).
- Colors: Use 2–3 colors. High contrast for text and background helps readability.
Step 4 — Essential gadgets and pages
Create these pages from the Pages area and add links in the header or footer:
- About — short paragraph about you and the blog.
- Contact — email link. (Use: kriaz1486@gmail.com)
- Privacy Policy — simple short policy (we provide a template below).
Step 5 — Make your first post (SEO friendly)
Click New post and follow this simple structure for better ranking:
- Title: Include the main keyword (e.g., "How to Create a Blogger Website in 2025").
- Intro (50–80 words): Briefly explain what the post covers and why it helps the reader.
- Headings (H2/H3): Use clear headings for each step.
- Short paragraphs: Keep 2–4 lines per paragraph for readability on mobile.
- Internal links: Link to About, Contact, and other posts when relevant.
- Labels: Add 3–6 labels (categories) that match the topic.
Step 6 — Add an image (optional but recommended)
An image helps in social sharing. If you choose to add one, use a simple cover image (1200×675). You can create a free image using Canva or a free stock site. Upload the image in the post editor and set it as the post image.
Step 7 — Connect a custom domain (optional)
Why use a custom domain? It looks professional and helps branding (example: yourblog.com). To connect:
- Buy a domain from Namecheap, GoDaddy, or a local registrar.
- In Blogger → Settings → Custom domain, enter your domain and follow the verification steps. Blogger will give two CNAME records to add in your domain DNS.
- After DNS propagates (can be a few minutes to 24 hours), your blog will work on the custom domain.
Step 8 — Set up Google Search Console & Analytics
Verify your blog with Google Search Console to track search performance and submit a sitemap. Also create a Google Analytics (GA4) property and add the tracking code to your blog's template if you want detailed analytics.
Step 9 — Basic SEO checklist
- Use clean URLs (Blogger auto-generates based on title).
- Add meta description for each post (clear, 120–160 characters).
- Use headings (H2/H3) and short paragraphs.
- Compress images before upload for faster loading.
- Create a simple sitemap:
/sitemap.xml— Blogger auto-generates one.
Step 10 — Publish and promote
- Publish your first post and share it on social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) and relevant groups.
- Submit your post URL to Google Search Console → URL Inspection → Request Indexing.
- Consider making a short thread or post on relevant tech communities to get initial readers.
Bonus tips for faster growth
- Write consistently — 1 post per week is better than 10 in one day.
- Research keywords with free tools (Google Autocomplete, related searches).
- Reply to comments to build engagement and return readers.
