Hey everyone! I've recently started a new blog on blogspot.com. I really like the freedom you are given through their service. I was wondering if anybody else has any tips for making a sucsessful blog on their site. Also I was wondering if there was a way to use a custom template rather than the ones they provide you with. Thanks.

Hi,
While I'm much more of a WordPress fan I have used blogspot in the past and do still have a few blogs hanging around in there. You can certainly use other templates aside from those on offer - it's just a matter of finding one you want and being able to upload/add it.
To make it successful you need to work on getting traffic to it and the best way to do this is via good content and related keywords etc. Blogger doesn't make it quite as easy to make it a well optimised site for search engines etc but again if you make sure your titles are keyword related you'll be off to a good start

hey there yeah I use blogspot have 9 blogs with them at the moment, aswell as 5 web-sites, tho am also looking at wordpress and considering moving them over there.
Problem I find with blogspot that they are great for the person who doesnt have a good under standing of coding, but I find it very frustrating at not being able to change the code and also to optimise for search engines hence why am trying wordpress next.
I have set-up my newest web-site on the subject on making money online and generating traffic, its still in its early stages as adding more content everyday.
Its in my profile under my avatar picture if you wanna have a look might give you a few tips etc etc that you may or may not use.
Tho content will be added daily so keep checking back.
Good luck.

I have recently started using blogspot.com and have to say that I am very impressed. Im not much of a computer person and I found It very easy to find my way around and learn how everything works.

Hello,
You can post anything about yourself in your blog. If your audience is your online friends, tell about your daily living, thoughts, news for them, what you feel or anything. Hope this helps! About templates, I'm still studying about it.

I have been using Blogspot blogs(2) for over a year.
I use custom templates that are free then I further customize them to my needs.
There are thousands for free templates available online. You can use any.
This might help a bit http://www.kashifblog.com/2008/03/give-your-blog-complete-makeover.html
