Google loves Blogger.

Of course they do, it belongs to them.
I had always refrained from having a blog in the Blogger environment. I felt it was better to have a self-hosted blog, and that is possible with WordPress. It's widely known that Blogger is easier to learn and manage, but since I don't mind learning some techy stuff, it didn't bother me.
A few months ago, my friend Terri Pattio told me something that makes a lot of sense. Having a Blogger blog is a good idea, since, well, as I said earlier, it belongs to the company that has the most popular search engine in the world. So, it's obvious that a Blogger blog could be a good sales funnel.
Maintaining a blog is time consuming, so I hadn't done it. Then, a friend asked me for help about adding a YouTube video on her Blogger blog. It was the kick I needed to start one for good. I had created a blog 2 years ago, but had never really posted anything.
This post you're reading is the first original one I write on this blog. I feel it is logical to do so, since it is specifically about this blog here. Another reason is that it's ok to copy a post from a blog to another, but know that the first one where it's published will be the one indexed by search engines. So, from now on, I will sometimes write a post here first, then copy it on my BeProactiveNow.net blog, and vice versa.

Videos about Blogger

The main reason I'm maintaining this blog, actually, is because I love to do video tutorials. Since I know that many people choose to have blogs in the Blogger environment, it makes sense that I create videos for that audience. In order to do that, I need to learn about Blogger, so I reach two targets with one stone.
One thing I'm pretty sure that many Blogger users don't realize is that we can create pages in a Blogger blog. In the case of this blog here, these pages pages appear at the top, to the right of "Home." One of the pages I created is called "Videos about Blogger." If you need help about your Blogger blog, check out the page, or let me know in a comment if you need a video about something you want to do, and I will find out how to do it and create a video, then add it on the page.

Blogging with WordPress

If you ever decide to start blogging with WordPress, I have videos about that too. You will learn how to use plug-ins ( what is called "gadgets" for Blogger ). There's a selection of hundreds ( if not thousands ) of plug-ins for just about every need you can think of. WordPress is a lot more powerful than Blogger. When you are comfortable with Blogger, I invite you to connect with me at APSense, the business social network, and we can go on from there.
