Actually, blogger.com doesn't support web stories. So, we will create web stories using this tool and upload these web stories to GitHub.com . For this, we have to follow some steps.
[1] Create a GitHub account and connect our custom domain or sub domain.
[2] Create Web Stories using our tool.
[3] Finally, upload the created web stories to GitHub.
Now a days Web story is trending but it's easy to create only in WordPress, not in Blogger. you can use makestories.io to create and host your web stories on their server but we don't want because we want to create web stories on our own blog. So, today I will tell you how to make web story for blogger.
We will divide it into two parts.
Step 1 : We will create a GitHub account and add a custom or sub domain.
Step 2 : We will create a web story using our Make Stories tool and upload it to GitHub.
Step1 : Create a GitHub account and add a custom or sub domain.
Method 1 : First go to GitHub.com and click on sign up button (if needs).
Method 2 : After sign up , login to your account.
Method 3 : Click on New repository button to create a new repository (I'm not describing it because not need).

Method 10 : Enter your custom subdomain and click on save button. Then, copy the link shown on the image below [3]
Method 11 : Now, go to your Cloudflare dashboard and login (if needs). Don't worry 😥, we will just add a CNAME record. Wait for a couple of minutes until your domain is ready.
Step 2 : Make your web stories and upload those to GitHub page.

Please do not add a forward slash (/) to the end of the URL. Url support eg. https://www.3schools.in , http://www.3schools.in , https://web.3schools.in , etc.

A. Go to the Google Analytics account and click on the admin section in the bottom left corner. Then select your account and copy the code.
- In the Publisher Name box, enter your blog name (eg. 3schools ).
- Upload the logo of your blog in Blogger , copy the link of the logo and paste the copied link in the Publisher Logo box. According to Google, the logo image should be larger than or equal to 96x96px and maintain a 1:1 aspect ratio.

If you don't have any AdSense account then don't fill any data to those input boxes.
