Blogging still has its special place online, in my opinion, and is worth the effort. Blogging allows me to voice my opinions on a range of topics in my own space, which is what I enjoy most about it. With the help of my blog, I have a platform to easily share with my readers my ideas, perspectives, and experiences. This blog post does contain affiliate links.

Seven Things I Like About My Blog
I have found blogging to be a great source of inspiration for me. I like the fact that I can sit down, think about what I want to write about, and start typing everything out on my blog.
1. My Blog Is Free.
I could have gone with other platforms, but I prefer the Blogger blogs because it's just easier for me to work with. I know their blogs don't have all the bells and whistles and I am okay with that.
2. Customizing My Blog
The second thing that I like about my blog is the fact that I can customize it the way I want. I can add:
- background pictures
- change the colors of my blog
- organize my widgets on my sidebar
- as many pages as I need
- labels to my posts to help keep them organized
- customize my share buttons
I can also change the fonts and its sizes for - the title of my blog,
- the title of my posts,
- the widgets in the sidebar of my blog, the date
- the tabs for my pages
Plus there are a few more things that I can do like add html to get the results I want.
3. Adding Domain Names To My Blog.
I like the fact that I could easily purchase a domain name and quickly add that same domain name to my blog from Google Domains or Namecheap. I have bought domain names from both companies, and I was completely satisfied with their services.
I know that I could have used the subdomain from Blogger, but I was not crazy about my blog domain ending in .blogspot.com. I preferred a domain name to give my blog a more complete look.
4. Ease of Access To My Blog.
I like having multiple ways to access my blog online. I can access it on my phone and see how it looks. this helps me see right away if there are changes I need to make so my blog can be easily accessed by my readers.
I prefer to access my blog on my Chromebook because the screen is much bigger than my phone and I can see everything much better. When I am working with a bigger screen, I can get a larger view of my blog and I can also check for any mistakes that I might have missed with my phone.
5. Blogger Immediately Saves My Drafts.
There have been times when I have had to close my Chromebook while I was typing a blog post. Sometimes I would be gone for a few hours at a time. It really depended on what I had to get done.
When I would return, everything that I had typed would be saved. I could either start from where I left off, or I could make the changes I wanted and continue typing my post. I like this feature because it saves me a lot of time from starting all over again.
6. Adding Pictures My Blog Posts.
I am a visual person. I adore adding images to my blog posts, especially the longer ones. To ensure that my viewers enjoy looking at my images, I want to make sure the pictures are a nice size. This way they can connect with the images while they are reading.
7. I Can Make Money From My Blog.
I don't know how many bloggers are making money online, this is not an easy thing to do. I have not been blogging consistently but, I have been blogging since September 30, 2022. I am going to make a conscious effort and see if I can make this work.
The methods I will be using to make money online, is through Google Adsense, Affiliate Marketing and I will start selling digital products as well.
I am still learning everything I can about blogging and how to make money at the same time. I'm not willing to give up right now because I think that this can work.
Until Next Time, Enjoy Living and Loving Life.
