After learning to view user profiles and their blog entries, you’ll start creating and managing your Blogger-based website. You’ll learn how to create and update pages, search your blog index, and publish blog posts. You’ll also learn how to edit, revert, and delete content.

By the end of this course, you’ll be well versed with the Blogger API, and ready to build a fully functioning blogger application using React coupled with an Express back-end server.
