Let’s start Creating a Free Blogspot website
1. Sign up or log in to Blogger
Open the site blogger.com and log in with your Gmail account, if you haven’t you’ll need to create a Google account. Blogger is a service provided by Google that’s why you need to sign in or log in with a Gmail account.

After logging into Blogger, you’ll get a new page similar to the image added below. Create a website or blog with a name that is best or unique for you and show your business or service. Enter the title you want, then click on Next.
3. Choose a URL Address or Domain name for Free Blogspot Website
Include the title and URL of your website. For example, if you want to create a website for education your address may be mint-education.blogspot.com and your title could be Mint Education.
One thing to know about maybe the domain you’re finding is not available because these domain names are free and they will automatically be suffixed with blogspot.com. But Blogspot allows you to use a custom domain, instead of the free domain.
