Step-by-step process to create a free blog on your own FTP within your web template
What is a blog?
Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a magazine (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for the general public to consume. They are usually updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical training to update and maintain the blog.
Why Blog?
As its definition helps to publish news updates, to promote new products and services as well as different opinions of the various experts who participate in blogs. Today, many companies open a blog section to sell products, for customer service and after-sales support. Business blogging is the fast track to increasing website link popularity and Google PageRank. Keyword-rich content that is regularly updated and offered by blogs scores highly in search engines as a direct result of its link drawing power.
Link exchanges between related thematic 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 generally need to be approached from a shared traffic perspective.
Blogs also provide a unique list of high PageRank blog directories. While they maintain their exclusivity in the Internet blog directories only, blogs are welcome in the main Internet directories. In that sense, blogging gets the best of both worlds.
Website owners, who are serious about improving not only the number of inbound links, but also the relevant quality of their topic, should seriously consider adding a business blog component to their website.
Blog settings on blogger.com
Blogs can be created from the bloggers site, as well as from your own FTP (websites). People who do not 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 creator in the blog 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 technical and, for the first time, it takes some time and trial and error to blog from your own FTP.
From this article, I would like to define step-by-step procedures with examples to help you blog in a few easy steps in less time.

For that,
Login to the same blogger account from where you already posted the blogs.

Follow the steps mentioned in point no. 3 above, to change the FTP details of the blog.
Replace the 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 instance,
[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 above example URLs replace the following URLs
http://www.yourdomain.com/blogger/ppcarticles.html (URL before switching to a new FTP)
http://www.yourdomain.com/ppcarticles.html (URL before switching to a new FTP)
After giving a username and password for the new FTP server, click “Save Settings” at the bottom of the page.
After clicking, a message will appear: “The configuration was saved successfully.”
Below the message “The settings were saved successfully”, you will find two buttons “Republish” (to publish the entire blog) and “Republish the index” (to republish only the index page).
Click the “Repost” button.
After clicking, the message “Publishing is in progress” will appear.
After a few seconds, you will get the new message on the same page, “Your blog was published successfully.”
Any changes or updates posted will be reflected directly in the URLs.
