Creating a blog on blogger is free and fairly easy to do. Your webaddress will be assigned on a blogger.com subdomain, and your blog will be hosted on a Google server, thus you avoid paying for the costs of webhosting and a domainname.
When you have a Blogger blog, I suggest you utilize these 12 best and most popular free blogger tools, used by professional bloggers, to get the most out of your new blog.
- FeedBurner is a tool that will generate a smart feed, compatible with all the free feed readers out there. Using the “Burned feed” generated by feedburner is a great way to distribute your content over the internet. Feedburner, recently acquired by Google, also allows you to put +Add buttons for XML, Yahoo, MSN etc. on your site. Monitor the health of your feed by subscribing to FeedBulletin. Get a cool feed count button to show how many readers have subscripted to your blog feed.
- Js-Kit is a tool that integrates trackbacks into your blogger blog. It provides other bloggers with a seamless way to add trackbacks to your blog and also imports existing comments and provides live synchronization of new comments with Blogger.
- Avantblog is free software that allows you to post articles on your blog using a Palm or Windows CE device.
- My Blog Log tracks outgoing links to let you know where your traffic is going. Discover who’s visiting your site, and connect with your readers.
- w.bloggar is an application that acts as an interface between the user and one or more blogs. It is a Post and Template editor, with several features and resources that the browser based blog editors do not offer.

-Feedburner is an effective tool and has analysis uses also. Being able to analyze feed traffic through feedburner buttons is very useful information. Didn’t know about Avantblog either. Nice links.

-It is amazing to imagine how something could grow big in less than two years. FeedBurner is basically news feed management provider that has just been launched in the year 2004. Now it is the largest service provider of its kind serving over 20 million subscribers all over the world. FeedBurner helps commercial publishers, bloggers, and podcasters deliver and promote the content of their sites, and even make money out of it using invaluable web-based services.
