Google Blogger or Blogspot is one of the best ways for creating a free blog with a free domain but it has certain limitations and drawback.

What are the disadvantages of removing the date and HTML from Blogger URL?
Removing date from Blogger posts URL is helpful, but only for the bloggers who have just started their blog and who wish to start their blog with Google Blogger, if you are already blogging and your posts have started ranking than removing date and HTML from your posts URL will have a negative SEO impact as all your posts with previous posts with date and HTML will give 404 error and you will lose the ranking.
So it's better that old bloggers don't take the risk. We will use javascript to remove date and HTML extension, and using javascript can increase page load time
