Blogger Or Wordpress :choosing the right blogging platform by Naijakick: 8:26am On Dec 26, 2015 |
When I first started blogging I was clueless , In fact I had no idea other blogging platforms existed apart from blogger. I started with blogger because a friend asked me to and how I could make fast money by blogging. Anyway I signed up with blogger, picked a theme and started posting. Later as I began to delve in web development, I wanted more than just a simple blog. I wanted a beautiful and elegant blog I could customize, a feature which blogger doesn’t provide with ease. I ended up dumping my blogger hosted blog for wordpress . Choosing the right blogging platform is a very crucial stage of blogging. By choosing the right platform, you don’t get to open several blogs and then leave them dormant probably loosing readers in the process. Launch your awesomeness with and amazing blog and don’t make my mistake. Blogger or WordPress :Choosing The Right Blogging Platform. There are actually several blogging platforms like tumblr, joomla, square space, drupal among others. I’ve decided to talk on blogger and wordpress because they are the most popular and used blogging platforms. BLOGGER: Blogger is an amazing platform for blogging, many successful blogs are hosted on blogger. Lots of successful blogs are hosted on blogger, so because I dumped blogger doesn’t mean it’s wack, It isn’t. If you’re not much of a tech person and all you want to do is write posts people to see without any hassle, then blogger is the platform for you. All you need is a gmail account and you’re ready to go. Just sign up on blogger.com, pick a domain name, a theme and you can start posting. Yes it’s that easy. If you want your blog to be unique, blogger isn’t for you. It has few theme layout options, the wahala (trouble) you have to go through to put your posts into categories as every one of your post stays on the front page. Mess with the code in the customization settings and your blog goes in chaos. So don’t go there if you want to use blogger. With all these said though, Blogger still remains still wins the award of simplicity and the best free hosted blogging platform. You don’t have to pay a dime for their services. Unless you want to change your domain name from a free domain account to a paid domain name. WORDPRESS : This is one platform I’ve come to love over time, not just because of the flexibility in its design features but also because of its ability to fit several purposes. WordPress provides to options for blogging. You could either create a free hosted account on with limited features or create a self-hosted account with wordpress.org. Setting up a free wordpress account is as easy as opening a gmail account. a self-hosted account on the other hand is a little more complicated and you have to spend some money. You’ll need to purchase a domain name and a host. Check a detailed tutorial on setting a self-hosted wordpress account on wpbeginner . Hopefully by now you would have made decision of which blogging platform you prefer. www.naijakick.com/blogger-or-wordpress-choosing-the-right-blogging-platform/ |
