Hello bloggers... You may be considering creating an eu.org domain and using the domain for your Blogger site(s). However, you may need to reconsider the issues with the domain, especially the indexing issues. In this article, I will share with you some of the issues based on my experiences with this (sub)domain. Why do people want to have an EU.ORG domain? The reason why people want to have this domain is that it is free. Yes, an eu.org domain, or more appropriately a subdomain, is free. You can easily register a new domain by visiting https://nic.eu.org, registering a new free account, registering a new subdomain, and waiting for the domain to propagate. You also need to create a free account in a free hosting service (e.g., HOSTRY), add your eu.org domain, create nameservers, and use the configuration in the eu.org domain provider mentioned above. Having and using an eu.org domain as a custom domain for your Blogger site(s) may also be "cool". Compare these domains: writi...

Ah, Blogger. Remember the good old days? The thrill of hitting 'publish' on a fresh post, the wild west of early 2000s internet, and the charmingly clunky designs? It was the platform that launched a thousand ships—or should we say blogs—into the vast ocean of the World Wide Web. But let's face it, in the fast-paced, TikTok-ing, meme-sharing world of today, Blogger feels like a relic from a bygone era, like flip phones or dial-up internet. But hold on, don't let the digital dust bunnies fool you. There's something timeless about Blogger, something that transcends the fickleness of internet fame. It's about the craft, the art, the sheer joy of stringing words together to create something meaningful. It's about writing, and here's a little secret: writing is still cool. Yes, even on Blogger. So, why keep tapping away at your keyboard on a platform that's not topping the trend charts? Well, for starters, writing is the gym workout for your brain. It...

It is not able to generate fresh ideas and insights. It cannot represent you as a writer and when someone reads your blog posts, they will feel th...
