How do work Blogspot/Blogger?

[Luchia H]

I signed up for blogspot.com but when i try to look at other peoples blogs like click "next blog" they show me like those advertisment stuff when i am just looking for people who are just there to blog and have fun not trying to sell stuff.
How do you serch for people like that?
AND What is your blog? so i can see like regular blogs and not the advertisement ones

Google owns Blogspot/Blogger. The company has a search engine designed specifically for finding blogs called the Google Blog Search at http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bi...swer=42673 ). You can click the "Advanced Blog Search" link at the top of the search page to narrow down the blog search to just Blogger/Blogspot blogs. Put "blogspot.com" in the "at this URL" field to go along with keywords added to the "Find Post" fields.

Free blogging services often have ads. Also, advertisers often create blogs - which may or may not be against the rules of the service. You'll need to just distinguish between spam or company-oriented blogs and personal blogs.


There are other blog search engines specific to certain blog services, as well as overall blog search engines like Google's.

Major blog sites with a search engine:
Wordpress (http://shine.yahoo.com/ - already registered just go to the site)

Major social-networking sites with a blog search engine:
MySpace (http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/index.php? )
