They'll even arrange for you to purchase a domain name at a deep discount, and set up the DNS records for you. I did it in less than half an hour one day, and the next morning I had a blogger blog in my own domain that otherwise works exactly like the you.blogger.com blog, and the only cost was the domain (about $15.00/yr US). It's less if you buy it directly from Google, and less still if you buy a longer term.A Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218596616161358349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756822.post-12551687370113206632007-10-29T14:29:00.000-07:002007-10-29T14:29:00.000-07:00Thank you for the info Joel..I really need to coll...Thank you for the info Joel..<BR/>I really need to collect more informations about the Blogger updates.Walid Debbechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00460787566132621211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756822.post-29396979427394674882007-10-29T05:33:00.000-07:002007-10-29T05:33:00.000-07:00Hope you are aware that blogger do have the option...Hope you are aware that blogger do have the option to host your own domain name too!

I also agree that having a sub-standard URL with blogspot is a draw back, and I can say from experience that I'm not likely to click on those links found in search engines due to the appearance of less authority. <BR/><BR/>Of course, there have been many times where I've clicked on a search result link and was taken to a blog with it's own domain name, but hosted on blogger, and the template discouraged me and I looked elsewhere. Templates such as those bright colored, pink especially, "girly" or dark templates take away from even great posts.<BR/><BR/>Wordpress has definitely got a lot of people's attention, and for good reasons. Personally speaking, I would be more than willing to pay a reasonable fee for perhaps "premium" type improvements on Blogger, such as their offering some out-of-this-world templates. <BR/><BR/>I actually just completed a post on the topic on Blogger, titled "An Open Letter To Blogger.com" if you care to have a look-see. <BR/><BR/>Great post!Telling It Like It Ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04385980365948466941noreply@blogger.com
