Best Blogging Site
Let’s get right to the point. The best blogging site would have to be WordPress. I’m not talking about but rather hosting a WordPress blog on your own domain.
There is a big difference between the two.
If you were to set up a free blog on you can’t add any plugins (which is where the biggest benefit of WordPress lies) and you’re also limited in what you can publish. A worst case scenario is that WordPress has the authority to shut your blog down if it doesn’t like the content – ouch!
Installing WordPress on your own domain is totally different. A WordPress blog installed on your own domain gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want, including:
Using any WordPress theme
Customizing your theme
Adding any plugin
Publishing any content you like
Most internet marketers and website owners love WordPress because:
It’s fully scalable – add as many pages and posts as you like
Content management – your pages and posts are automatically linked and you can structure it any way you like
Functionality – there are tons of free (and paid) plugins that allow you to do almost anything you want with your site, such as SEO optimization, Google Analytics, Facebook social plugins, social bookmarking, list building, and much, much more
It’s free
Other great blogging sites are:
Blogger
Blogger is owned by Google and is a very robust blogging platform. It’s free and used by thousands.
Blogger is excellent for those that are just starting out because of its ‘drag and drop’ user interface. There’s heaps of features that you can add to your blog with just a few clicks of a button. Blogger is also very customizable; there are a lot of themes to choose from and you can alter them if you know a bit of html and php. There’s also a lot of gadgets you can add to your blog such as video sharing, list building, photo sharing, polls, Google AdSense and Amazon advertising, etc.
Posterous
Posterous is not as well known but definitely one of the best blogging sites.
What makes Posterous so unique and powerful is its content syndication. You can configure Posterous to automatically publish your new Posterous post to a heap of your other blogging accounts, including Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Xanga, and many more.
Publishing to Posterous is super easy; simply email your post to post (at) and that’s it!
My recommendation is this; if you’re serious about blogging, you have to use the best blogging site; WordPress. There’s just no other option.
If you haven’t do so already it’s easy. Simply register your own domain (only $10 per year!), host it on Hostgator, and install WordPress on your domain (within Cpanel go to Fantastico Deluxe). It will take a while to get used to it but using WordPress is not very hard and it will get you the best results.
If you’re totally new to internet marketing and feel a bit intimidated about getting a WordPress site set up, that’s okay! Simply sign up for a free Blogger account and get used to blogging. When you’re ready, set up your WordPress blog.
