Setting up Custom Domain for Blogger Blog

Blogger allows you to run a blog at free of cost. Unlike WordPress, you can use all the features and benefits from blogger without spending a single dollar. But if you would like to use a custom domain for your blog, then you have to purchase it from a third party domain registrar.  Few years ago, blogger had its own domain registrar and the users could purchase a domain from blogger dashboard.

This is gonna be the goodbye message to Internet Explorer (IE) from Marks PC Solution.

In fact, the termination of Internet Explorer is the demand of time. As I mentioned in my browser review post, Internet Explorer
