Is there a limit to the number of posts allowed by Google Blogger?

I can say with some confidence that there would strongly appear to be no upper limit to the  number of articles (posts) allowed by Google Blogspot (Google Blogger) and I make this judgement after recently visiting a Google blogspot website, hosted by Google, called Althouse which has, on my estimation, around 74,000 posts. Astonishing as it is authored by a single person: Amy Althouse. Link to her site: Althouse

She writes about 15 posts a day. But she achieves this by not creating original photographs or images for the posts but by embedding Flickr images which I presume she is taken and by copying i.e. cutting and pasting, the texts from other websites both in the title which is very long and the body of the text which is a continuation of the title sometimes. 

It's all conducted at very high speed I suspect and she may complete one post in about five minutes. She would have to do it quickly otherwise she would take about 14 hours a day to write a day's worth of posts which would absorb pretty well all her waking hours and I can't see the point of that.

But she has been writing for her website at this consistent high speed since 2004 which is remarkable. It must place quite a mental burden on her to wake up in the morning knowing that she has to write 50 articles or more despite the fact that they are super high speed and copying and pasting mostly it seems to me.

She appears to have decided that quantity is superior to quality which may in fact be true. I don't know how well her site ranks in respect of other websites or Google blogspot websites. There is no method to cross check that nowadays.

She maintains a very simple theme which is the basic original theme of Google blogspot so there is no attempt to prettify the website. I like that too. It's very practical. Very functional. No frills.

Just words churned out at high speed. She write about pretty well on any topic which takes her fancy. She receives about 50 comments or more per article which is fantastic. She must have quite a big following. But then she's been around for a long time and has written 74,000 articles!!

It is listed as one of the best Google blogspot websites but I'm not sure whether that's correct or not. All I can say is that I'm impressed by her productivity and commitment.

I think this website (Cat Chit Chat) actually also deserves a mention because although I only write one or two articles per day for this website it has achieved almost 12 million hits over its lifespan and every page contains an original image of some sort.

For speed, I dictate using Dragon Dictate these days. I have never indulged in cutting and pasting text from other articles. I thought that was bad SEO policy. It appears that Google accepts it. I might try it.

In line with Ann Althouse, I have deliberately not added a photograph or image of any sort to this page!

Here is the answer from Google's Gemini. God bless it. Gemini is the destroyer of websites!

No, there's no limit to the number of posts you can create on Google Blogger. This is great news for bloggers who want to create a substantial archive of content!

Here's a quick rundown of Blogger's post limits:

• Number of Posts: Unlimited
• Post Length: Unlimited (although very large posts might affect homepage display due to another limit)

However, there are a few other limitations to keep in mind:

• Image Size: Individual images can be up to 1GB, but they need to be under 2048px in width or height for unlimited storage within Blogger itself (larger images eat into your Google Drive storage).
• Homepage Display: The number of posts displayed on your homepage and archive pages depends on a setting you control and the total file size of those posts. Blogger tries to show the number you set, but there's a limit of roughly 1MB for the total size of posts displayed on a single page.

P.S. please forgive the occasional typo. These articles are written at breakneck speed using Dragon Dictate. I have to prepare them in around 20 mins.

Google Blogger Is Better Than WordPress

Yes, Google Blogger is better than WordPress in my opinion.  I've use Google Blogger for about 7 years.  I have used WordPress for about 2 years.  I've also had my website hosted by SiteSell for about 5 years. Don't use SiteSell.

Note: I am referring here not to websites hosted by WordPress but using the WordPress interface (the code, software) while the site is hosted on a commercial server like Hostgator -- you see it is bloody confusing ;). That is the first point. WordPress = confusing : Blogger = Simple.

Why do I think Google Blogger is better than WordPress?  Firstly, Blogger is more reliable.  It is way more reliable.  I have a clear sense that Google engineers are better than WordPress engineers. That makes sense because Google is an enormous company worth many billions of dollars with thousands of engineers writing the very best modern code.

A recent problem highlights what I mean.  Every so often WordPress issue an update to the basic code and the latest update was 3.9. It proved to be incompatible with certain plug-ins and themes.....and the visual editor does not work properly for a lot of people....and image manipulation and positioning etc. is a lot worse than the previous version which is causing a lot of problems for a lot of people and...  I needn't go on but the truth is you don't want to update your WordPress software when they say you have to because you're bound to get a problem somewhere when, for example, a bloody plug-in does not work properly after the update.

There are thousands of plug-ins for WordPress but lots of them - if not all of them - are scripts and they may slow down the load time of your site because the script code is at the top of the page and this causes a blockage when the browser loads the webpage.  Just another glitch. This is important, though, because search results (SEO) are partly dependent on load times.

WordPress is more flexible than Google Blogger.  I will concede that but you don't need flexibility beyond a certain point and there is a perfectly adequate amount of flexibility in Google Blogger to create a website that really appeals regarding appearance.

I almost forgot.  Google Blogger is entirely free.  If you want a unique URL then you have to pay for that but they're very cheap anyway normally.  But the actual hosting of the website is entirely free.

As the WordPress, there will be a fee to host the website and it will be between $100 and $2000 perhaps even more depending on what sort of hosting you choose.  These prices are per annum.

The most important benefit of using Google blogger is reliability.  You have piece of mind and most people these days simply want to focus on writing and not be bogged down with coding things.  With WordPress you really do need to know a bit about code because not infrequently you are involved in patching up incompatibility issues or problems here and there.

And the code is complicated.  WordPress code isn't just straightforward HTML.  It does depend on what version of WordPress you are using but  unless you're comfortable with coding you might be intimidated.  In addition, even simply running the control panels of plug-ins and your website generally can be complicated.  Google blogger is much more straightforward which allows you to focus on what matters, content.

Lastly, as Google Blogger is a Google product, if you consistently write  good (excellent) content on your Google blog, Google will like it and will find it in search results.  So the last good point about Google blogger and one reason why it is better than WordPress is because it is inherently better from the point of view of SEO and you haven't got to do any fancy SEO work to achieve that (unlike WordPress).
