Blogging Platforms

Blogging is an excellent platform to work from home and make some extra money or just promote a business. Blogging requires very little or no knowledge of HTML or website designing. If you can a paragraph, you can blog.


But which is the best blogging platform? Is it Blogger.com or Wordpress.com? Which is the best blogging platform - free or paid?




Whether you decide to start a blog for money or just for fun, you should probably do so without spending any money. The easiest was is to sign up with one of the many free blog platforms available around. 

Two of the most popular blog hosts are Blogger.com, now owned by Google, and Wordpress.com. Their service is completely free, not even advertisements will appear on your blog.


The ability to customize your blog is limited with the free services, so you can try Typepad.com, which will host your blog for you on their servers. Purchase a hosting account where WordPress can be installed. The downloadable version of WordPress is located at Wordpress.org and is free of charge if you need to install WordPress yourself on your hosting account.


If you are newbie, then choose a platform you can learn easily. Don’t choose a popular platform just because it’s popular. If you can’t figure out how to use it, your blog will be over before it starts. So select a blogging platform according to your preference.
