What is a URL?

A URL is the location of a file on the Web. Some examples of URLs include http://www.blogger.com/, or http://myblog.blogspot.com/

The URL you select will be used by visitors, or yourself, to access your blog.

During the blog creation process, you'll have to select a URL for your blog if you want it hosted on Blog*Spot. Since there are already a large number of Blog*Spot blogs, you'll need to get creative and possibly try a few different ones before you find one that's available.

One thing to note when selecting your blog's URL is that hyphens (also know as dashes, - ) are the only non-alphanumeric characters allowed. Spaces aren't permitted, nor are underscores (_) or any other special characters.

What is my blog's address/URL? Can I change my Blog*Spot address? Can I have a blog address that looks abandoned?
