How to add blogspot to your mobile phone's home screen

For years I have felt frustrated that I did not have blogger on my icons on my phone. I thought the phone restricted or blocked blogger for commercial reasons. However, I have just made a breakthrough.

I did the usual obvious thing and went to google and found blogger. I found one of my blogs. 

I recently realised that my other blogs are accessible if I tap on a solid triangle. I started tapping on every icon I could see trying to save it.

 Then publish it. I tried exploring the three dots. Up popped a long list of options. One vital phrase caught my eye. It said - 

save icon to home screen 

You had to click on the orange icon and simultaneously press on the word add. The symbol appeared on my phone home page screen!

What I had saved was a link to blogspot, not blogger. What is the difference?

BLOGGER IS where you as a blogger write your draft and edit it and add photos and then publish.  

Blogspot is where you and others can see the finished published post - but not edit it. To approve and save, you must click on a green tick, at the top right. You can then publish.
