Check out Pagecord – a fresh, modern Blogger alternative
Blogger helped millions of people start writing online. It made personal publishing feel possible, friendly, and low-pressure.
Pagecord is for people who still want that spirit, but want a modern way to keep a personal blog alive: publish from email, Obsidian, the editor, API, or CLI, then let readers follow by RSS or email.
Use your own domain, keep your archive, export your work, and avoid turning your blog into another platform feed to manage.
What Blogger got right
Blogger understood that a personal blog should not need a publishing department. You wrote something, pressed publish, and had your own small place on the web.
That idea still matters. A blog should feel personal, durable, and yours.
What changed
People now write across email, notes apps, phones, Markdown files, and automation. The hard part is not starting a blog; it is keeping publishing close enough to writing that posts make it out.
Pagecord is built around that gap.
What Pagecord adds
You get a modern personal site with posts, pages, themes, RSS, email subscribers, custom domains, analytics, reply by email, and full export.
Classic is free forever. Premium is $39/year and includes custom domains, email subscribers, images, Obsidian, API, CLI, and more.
Moving from Blogger
If you have an existing Blogger archive, you do not need to work it all out before starting. Create a Pagecord blog, try the writing flow, and keep your old site live while you decide what to bring over.
Imports are not self-serve yet. If you have an existing blog, email support and we will look at what is possible.
