This should answer ALL my questions.

Who knows ogbonge blog? I know Ogbonge is not using WP. Is the blog self-hosted?

socialmediaman:
I see that DomainKingTeam https://www.nairaland.com/3134858/still-need-clarifications-dont-understand#46113169 has explained most of the issues raised, I would like to explain no. 3 specifically, and then go on to explain a general thing about blogs from the blogger and wordpress perspective.

To answer your question 3, Yes, google will still display ads on your blog if you buy a domain name from someone else. Google will not penalize you if you bought your domain name elsewhere to personalize your blog, your blog runs 100% with everything .com offers, the only thing that changed is the domain name. If you chose to use wordpress, you can still easily display your google adsense ads on your blog.

On the issue of Google vs WordPress hosting, i want to clarify something. If you want simplicity and "no stress" blog, .com seems to be a quick one. If you are thinking about the future, however, and your future needs might include running a more powerful blog where you have more control, for instance you want to transform from a simple blog to a more powerful news site like CNN, you want more control over how pages are displayed, you want more control and want to transform your website into a community website where people can register and also post their own news and engage more etc, WordPress brings out more complexity and its much more powerful for bigger projects than , and yes, you can also display your google adsense ads on your wordpress website very easily. Things will continue to evolve and might change in the future though.

I have to mention that you can also host your wordpress website on almost any webhost out there, wordpress.org does not require you to host it only in one place. Wordpress is a powerful software and takes a bit of learning to understand and use, but there are tons of materials out there, and webhosting companies can also help you start it up with no experience necessary.

So i decided to mention these because i thought your knowledge about wordpress vs was somewhat limited

ps: You also mentioned "theme" and "template", depending on the context, they mean the same thing, just called differently depending on what software you're using. Its like saying "basement" and "underground" in different countries

No ooo

I understand "template" and "theme" might mean the same, but I think they serve the same purpose BUT on different platforms. Templates for , and theme for WordPress (I think I'm sure of that one).

DomainKingTeam:
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in registering your domain name for your blog with us.

Please read the following answers of your questions:
1.) If you want to convert your .com blog to your custom .com domain then you then you don't need to buy any hosting plan for this. You just need to register a domain name. Once your domain name is registered you can use our free DNS service to link your custom domain with your .com blog or you can also ask us to integrate it for you.

2) No it is hosted by Google. If you only buy your domain name to link to your .com, then your blog is hosted by Google. And it is not self hosted. Self hosted generally means that you have your own hosting that you have bought from a hosting provider.

3) Your blog will still be hosted on Google. Only your domain name will change from .com to your own .com. All your content of your website and your ads and everything else will remain the same. So in simple words, your blogspost.com blog will change to .com blog and everything else will all be the same. And your website will still be powered by Google.

4) Yes, you just need to register a domain name if you want to change your .com blog to custom .com domain. There is nothing else that is required. You can register your domain from here: http://www.domainking.ng/domain-registration/

For registering your domain name this guide will be helpful for you: http://www.domainking.ng/articles/how-to-register-your-domain-name/

Once your domain is registered you can contact our support and we will help and guide you with all the integration process.

5) Please note that Google .com blog linked with custom .com, .ng etc. domain name is hosted by Google. Self hosted simply means a website hosted that is hosted on your own hosting that you have bought from any hosting provider.

So for example if you have bought hosting plan to host your simple HTML website, then it is self hosted as you have bought your own hosting for your website.

And similarly if you have a .com blog then it is hosted by Google Blogger. If you have a blog, then it is hosted by

I would like to clarify once again that a blog is hosted by Google on their servers. And even after you have linked your .com blog to your custom domain your blog will still be hosted by Google. You will use the same blogger.com interface to post your blog posts, your ads will be the same, your template will be the same . Everything will remain the same but only your domain name will change from .com to your .com domain.

I hope I have clarified all your queries.

Feel free to contact us if you have any further queries.

Best Regards,
Karan

Ha.
Let's see if I got the concept right.
Having a self hosted blog means buying a custom domain and a HOSTING plan (eg, from DomainKing @4k). Also means having total control of you blog. Like, you can decide what ad displays and not. Correct?

SlimHan:
@op, why don't you want WP if I may ask. Well, webmasters pls I need anwers to that no3 question too o. www.farjetbest.

Because I like to test a blog templates. Faster to me

EnejiTech:
I would have love to help you out to yr satisfaction but honestly i don't understand some of your questions..... I am Rash by name and my blog is hosted at Google , my URL is www.enejitech.com domain bought at Godaddy. I'm not an expert though but i love blogging and sharing my experience with my fellows. Whatsapp me with any of yr question and I will try as much as possible to provide u with a good answers +2349091609334...

But you just answered most of my questions.
You bought just a domain name, while still having your blog hosted on google.

Apparently, you blog once carries the ..com URL.

Here, I could only ask if it's possible to host that same blog of yours with a hosting company (e.g, DomainKing), while you still remain on "blogger templates".. Just not WordPress theme.

I hope you understand that enough

frank417:
lolzzz you've got it all wrong bro. everything here is just scattered!
I would have love to enlighten you on every aspect, but the thing is I'm a lazy typer. guess we'll have wait for someone to explain.
But i'll leave you with 1 thing to think about though..........

Incase you talking of Wordpress.org, are you sure you are WELL knowledgeable on why you don't want it?

You shouldn't be lazy to tell me the things you know sir, if you really want to enlighten me. Lolz.

Your question:
Atleast, I understand that WordPress is simple to operate for a newbie like me. I also understand that my favourite premium themes can buy me a full blog hosted on (too expensive). Blogger templates; as little as I know, are cheaper.

Blogs hosted on google are faster (stand to be corrected here).

I like to know about blog creation and I like to have my blog on the google platform.

Here are the areas I need clarifications on::

1). If you create a blog from google; your domain..com, and buy a custom domain name from DomainKing (3k) for example. Then you will have your domain.com.
To my understanding, your blog is hosted on google, ryt?

I know you can buy a hosting plan on WP. Is it possible to buy a hosting plan from DK, but remain on blogger not WP. As I learnt DK only offer hosting on WP.

2). If you buy a custom domain (without a hosting plan), does that make your blog a self hosted blog?

3). If I buy just a domain name, while I still have my blog hosted under google, would google display ads on my blog like they do when I'm still on "your domain..com"?

4). If getting just a custom domain name is all I needed to start a blog, does it mean all the blogs I see around were started with 3k or below?

5). More clarification on Self hosted and non hosted blog on google blogger pls. I understand that of WP.

Summary.
What I need is this. I want to start my own blog. I want it NOT ON WORDPRESS.. And I want to own it completely, not share any part with google. Using a "template", not a "theme". Dunno if it is called self hosted. I just want to have total control.

Shiit. I just hope someone understand all these nonsense I put up

imagine that number 5.. #EVIL!

I sited a link before and after the post... You 'll find the rest sir

1. That a man will promise heaven just to make you open your legs
I learnt this the hard way though. As a growing child who never had plenty of time to share with dad due to school activities, mom would sit me down to tell me the wonders stored on a man’s tongue. These are great precautionary tips against men but I would have loved such tips to be coming from an actual male. Dad would have best taught me that not all men are animals, but a large percentage of them can be very irresponsible with their sexuality.

2. That the only ways to get back to the girls forming BIG GALS is to be more successful
Getting good grades and becoming a successful employer of labour or rocking a personally financed business would better shut those girls up for real. Only a man could sincerely point out facts and make a woman see that success is the greatest weapon to beat her competitors hands down. I was able to learn this along my journey in life. Though I still wish I had known this a long time ago.

3. That preys are everywhere; looking for young girls to devour
I was lucky to have never being a victim though. But I would have being more prepared against against any intimidation from our male brothers.

Here are detailed points you need to get your girl child prepared on what this life means. We blame "whoever" for not knowing all these, but i hope you dont allow your kids to blame you. This is why you need to visit and read the whole piece from the source below;= (if you didn't noticed the one at the top)

Thank you sir. Glad you love it

Some pregnancy facts were never communicated to the viewers. You might be lucky not to have stretch marks all over but be sure your boobs will get bigger over time. Pregnancy is far beyond having a swollen uterus. A lot of people will find it irritating when you start spitting all around like a hungry python.
I will share you two out of many other weird and strange facts about pregnancy that you need to know:

Comments about your weight from people may not be a pleasant one
Get ready. If you have an extraordinarily protruding belly especially, chances are you will get some offensive comments about it. In this part of the world, grandmothers and that landlady which you might be suspecting of being a witch, all wants to know when you are due. Cite a date too far and you are pregnant with twins – Their translation anyway. If you answer with a date too soon, you have a very thin body which makes your pregnancy appears like a week old – Bullshit.
I just want to recommend telling them you ain’t pregnant. Just tell them you overfed!

Your Baby begins to urinate inside of you
From your fourth month and beyond, your little one will start to urinate inside of you. That sounds gross you’d say. But wait until I tell you that the little baby in your tommy will also drink his own urine.
