Here's the example blog on inserting sample chapters on blogger for newbies from my ebook, How to Make, Market and Sell Ebooks - All for Free.
Unfortunately, adding sample chapters (like as a pdf file) on blogger is a bit more complex than on Wordpress. Since there's no way to directly upload a pdf file into blogger, I needed to embed one by creating either an embedded HTML or a URL page of the pdf file. I went to this website - http://www.docstoc.com/ and signed up for the free account. Then I was able to upload my sample chapter file there, follow their prompts and eventually insert it into my blog post.
The URL link works great. Here it is - http://www.docstoc.com/docs/document-preview.aspx?doc_id=28045132
The embedded version below also works well, just a bit trickier. I had to make the width dimensions smaller so it would fit in the page, though any reader can click on the Full Screen option if they want to read it without a magnifying glass. Actually, it works pretty good. Here it is -
