Step by step process to create a free blog on your own FTP within your web template

What is Blog?

Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a frequently updated journal (or newsletter) intended for consumption by the general public. They are usually updated daily by software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog.

Why blog?

As its definition, it helps to publish news updates, promote new products and services, as well as different opinions from various experts who are involved in blogging. Many companies today open a blog section to sell products, for customer service and post-sale support. Business blogging is the fast track to increasing a website’s link popularity and Google PageRank.

Link exchanges between topic-related blogs are frequent and not difficult at all. Please note that bloggers exchange links primarily for visitor traffic purposes and not for search engine optimization. Link exchanges should generally be approached from the perspective of shared traffic.

Blogs also provides an exclusive list of high PageRank blog directories. Although they maintain their exclusivity in blog-only Internet directories, blogs are welcome in the major Internet directories. In that sense, blogs get the best of both worlds.

Website owners, who are serious about not only improving the number of incoming links, but also the relevant quality of their theme, should seriously consider adding a business blog component to their website.

Blog setup on blogger.com

Blogs can be created from the bloggers site as well as from the FTP itself (websites). People who don’t have any website can create a blog directly from the bloggers site. But those who have their own site can also create blogs from their own FTP with the help of blogger.com.

Blogger.com is the most popular blog builder in the blogging world. Although hundreds of sites offer free blogs, blogger.com is the most popular due to its features and functions. Creating a blog from your own FTP using Blogger.com is somewhat technical and for the first time takes some time and trial and error uploading to blogs from your own FTP.

Starting from this article, I would like to define step-by-step procedures with examples to help you create blogs in a few easy steps in less time.

After a few seconds, you will get the new message on the same page, “Your blog was successfully published.”

(4) Change blog from one FTP to another FTP

To change existing blogs from one FTP to another FTP, it is required to change only the FTP details in the “blogger” admin panel.
For that,

Login to the same blogger account from where you have already published the blogs.

Click the “Settings” button at the top of a page’s navigation.

Here, you will find the sub-navigation under “Settings” like, Basic, Publishing, Format, Comments, Archive, Site Feed, Email, Members

Now click “Publish”.

Here you will find two options like SFTP or blogspot.com

Click SFTP again, which will take you to the page, where you can provide your FTP server details.

Follow the steps mentioned in point no. 3 above, to change the blog’s FTP details.

Replace existing FTP server details with new FTP details. The details of this new FTP server will create a new URL to view the blogs.

For example,
[http://www.yourdomain1.com/blogger/ppcarticles.html] (URL after switching to a new FTP)

[http://www.yourdomain1.com/ppcarticles.html] (URL after switching to a new FTP)

The example URLs above replace the following URLs

http://www.yourdomain.com/blogger/ppcarticles.html (URL before changing a new FTP)

http://www.yourdomain.com/ppcarticles.html (URL before changing a new FTP)

After providing a username and password for the new FTP server, click “Save Settings” at the bottom of the page.

After clicking, a message will appear: “Settings saved successfully.”

Below the “Settings saved successfully” message, you’ll find two buttons “Republish” (to republish the entire blog) and “Republish Index” (to republish only the index page).

Click the “Repost” button.

After clicking, you will get the message “Publishing is in progress”.

After a few seconds, you will get the new message on the same page, “Your blog was successfully published.”

Any changes or posting of updates will be reflected directly in the URLs.
