However, if you need to simply learn how to set up a blog, Blogger is arguably the easiest blog platform available, as you can literally be registered and blogging in minutes.
Benefits: Blogger is so easy to use, that any teacher new to the digital classroom can be registered for Blogger and blogging in minutes.
