The term blogger Has two meanings. It can be used to refer to Google's free blog hosting platform, blogger.com, or to a person who runs their own blog.
Blogger (person)
Bloggers (or bloggers) are people who run a blog and regularly publish "articles" on it, whether for private or commercial reasons. Blogger posts are often characterized by the fact that they often reflect subjective perspectives. This subjectivity can be related to a person, a group or even an entire brand or corporate identity. A blogger can also be referred to as a Linkerati if they are able to reach a large audience with their messages due to their personality or position.

Topics
With regard to topics, bloggers they are not limited. There is no topic they can't blog about. It is for this reason that there are bloggers of fashion, cars, politics, etc. Some bloggers also form community blogs in which multiple editors write on a common topic.
Private vs. Commercial
The number of bloggers living in Spain cannot be accurately estimated, but it is known to have decreased in recent years. One of the reasons is the appearance of video blogs and Instagram. Another is that, unlike in countries like the United States, not many bloggers can make a living from it.
SEO Bloggers
Blogging is particularly popular in the field of SEO, as blogging presents an important source of information for industry professionals. Popular SEO blogs include the Mediadonis Blog[1]. Examples of blogs in Anglo-Saxon countries include the Moz Blog[2] or Matt Cutts Blog. [3].

Since then, users of the Blogger system have been able to easily integrate photos into their posts.
In 2004, the design and functionality of blogger.com was improved. As in WordPress, it is possible to upload messages by email.
Since 2006, all blogs created with a Google account are only stored on the servers of Google Inc. Additional features were introduced in the same year. These included the opportunity to add new designs via drag and drop, as well as RSS feeds.
