The Best Platforms to Start a Blog With
It’s been quite some time since I started my first ever blog, and there have been many of them since my first. I’ve written about so many different things you wouldn’t believe it. Everyday topics like politics, and not so common topics like the Little Tikes kitchen. Men’s interests like sports, and women’s interests like the Kate Spade handbag.
I try to get the best variety of options available, as I know that whatever I choose to blog with is something that I want to be convenient, rich with features, enjoyable, and attractive looking to my viewers.
While many were great, there are some that I’ve liked more than others. Generally, I stick to three now and what I go with really depends on the needs of the blog. Here are my top three, as I’m sure that one of these will be a great fit for you.
First of all, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at Blogger, which is offered free of charge by Google. It’s very easy to set up a blog this way, and you get the benefits of having your content indexed shortly after it’s published.
If you want something a bit more sophisticated in terms of giving your blog a custom look and feel, then I’d go with Wordpress. There are literally thousands of templates and themes, not to mention the great plugins that automate so many tasks that’d normally require some pretty heavy programming.
One of the best things about Wordpress is just how detailed these plugins are in terms of what they do. With very little Internet knowledge, you can easily have a robust website thanks to Wordpress.
Then there’s yet another one, and it’s a newcomer to the scene but a great platform nonetheless. Check out Posterous when you can, as I’m sure you’ll be impressed with its offerings. There are many different things you can do, but the best element is its simplicity. You can literally make a blog post by emailing them.
The same can be done for pictures and videos too, making it very, very convenient.
