At this point, you enter your main blog panel, called Dashboard. A GDPR notice informs you that cookies are automatically added to your blog to comply with privacy regulations.

Click View Blog in the bottom left corner to get a live preview. By default, this has a very simple design with the main title on top, the post list at the bottom, and your profile information on the left.

Let's see how to realize posts. You can start writing one by going to New Post. On top, define the post name (or title) and then type the body content at the bottom. You can also copy-paste any piece of text.

On top, you get several buttons to build your post, such as the undo and redo buttons, Font type

to change the font family, and Font size to adjust its length. Make sure to select any text first.

You can also apply different formats, including Paragraph (or p HTML tag) and several Headings (h1, h2 tags, and so on). Next to it, you can change the text style, fill colour, or background colour.

With the link button, you can also include hyperlinks, specifying the piece of text to insert, the destination addresses, and the option to open the link on a new browser window.

Click on Insert Image to browse for any image from your computer or any URL, adjusting alignment, size, captions, and ALT attributes. Whereas with Insert video, you can include any video from your computer or directly from YouTube, resizing it if you need.

On Location, insert any exciting place and open Options to manage the comments permissions on such posts. Finally, use Update to apply and save all.

As you save and publish posts, these will all appear under the Posts section and get listed on your Home Page according to the Layout of your blog.

This shows a bigger Featured Post (the latest article) and all the other posts at the bottom, composing the Page Body. This is the default layout, but you can fully change and customize it by opening the Layout section.

Each Layout has several elements, each containing one or more Gadgets. For example, you can take the Sidebar on the left and hide your blogger profile from it or change the Gadget orders. Make sure to save it from getting a quick preview of it.You can also add a new Gadget to include AdSense banners, custom HTML codes, or search bars.

In the same way, you can hide or show the Header on top, specify any Title or Description or add any image as a background. You can also change the Featured Post's appearance by showing or hiding the title, abstract, or thumbnail from it.

You can go to New Page and then to the. Compose the HTML view as seen for the posts. Then use Publish to save and apply all.

This page is added and shown on your Dashboard, but it does not appear on your blog automatically like the posts. It remains only achievable if you share its permalink on your blog or the internet. One of the best ways to do so is to add this link to a dedicated Menu.

To add a Menu, go to Layout and then to Page List, adding all interested pages and adjusting their order.

Now let's see how to customize the blog appearance! This is defined by a ready template called a Theme. Up to now, we have shown this one on top, but there are loads of others available on Blogger that you can select, check and apply live.

These Themes can change not just the basic appearance and colour but also the overall Layout of your blog. On top, you can go to Customize to edit your current Theme in detail. From the left, clicks under Background image to browse for any image to use as the main background.

You can also change the Main colour theme on some text, menus, and buttons according to the options provided by the Theme. If you need to customize more, you must include HTML codes, as we will see shortly.

To save and publish all, use the Save button in the bottom right corner. Next to the Customize button, you can back up the current Theme or Restore it to restart from its original version. You can also switch to an older generation theme and Edit the HTML code to apply modifications impossible with the simple theme interface just seen.

In the Comments section, you can check and manage all comments left by hiding, flagging, or removing any. On Stats, you can check how your website is performing, and on Earnings, you can connect and check your AdSense account states if you have any links.

Moreover, you can click on Favicon to customize the browser tab icon that opens your blog. Make sure to clear your cache if you do not see it applied.

Below you get other options such as showing or hiding your blog from web searches, applying an HTTPS protocol - that we recommend for safety - and managing permissions. Also, set the number of posts listed and include any CSS file to use as a template.

Under Formatting, adjust the time zone and the data format, and on Meta tags, add all the keywords to improve your blog indexing on search engines, separated by commas. Below you can edit the display messages in case of non-existing pages (404 error) and apply redirects. Under Monetization, include your ads.txt file if you want to link any Google AdSense account, and under Manage Blog, make a backup of your whole blog or delete it if you wish.

In addition, under Publishing, you can use a Custom Domain. You can buy any from Google or use the one you already have. In this case, Blogger will give you two CNAME records to add to your domain panel. Once you log in to your Domain, remove any A record and insert the two

requested CNAME records with the correct name and description. After this, wait at least 24 hours and add your own Domain, enabling redirects to make it effective.
