When anyone ask me which is the best blogging platform, I’ve only one answer – take a look at this blog … the answer is definite. It’s WordPress!
Basically, there are only 2 blogging platforms. Free or hosted.
Free blogging platforms refer to Blogger.com and WordPress.com (do not confuse this free hosting platform with the hosted one powered by WordPress).
Hosted blogs are blogs created at your own web server, usually with your own registered domain name.
Take WebmasteringTips.com for example. This is a hosted blog created with the web host cPanel (Fantastico). And the blogging platform for this blog is WordPress – the best blogging platform that I highly recommend you to use.
Advantages of the (hosted) WordPress blogging platform :
1. Full ownership – of the domain and content. You can have your own branding.
2. WordPress is extremely search engine friendly.
3. There are tonnes of free plugins you can use with WordPress.
4. There are tonnes of free WordPress themes (just like this one).
So the next time you’re deciding on which blogging platform to use, it’ll be WordPress!
