Also, prior HTML knowledge isn't a necessary pre-requisite as with most of the other Mac blog softwares. The steps to creating a personal blog are as simple as creating an account, naming the blog, choosing a template and start adding content to the blog. However, to tap some of the advanced options, one needs to acquire a decent amount of HTML and coding. Blogger Blogger is identically similar to Blogspot in all but one aspect.
