Choosing the Right Blog for You

“Which blog platform should I use?”

“Should I use a free hosted blog or get my own domain?”

“What are the pros and cons of going with one vendor over another?”

“Could I start out on a free blogging service and upgrade later?”

These are just some of the typical questions that we get asked each day from beginner bloggers trying to decide which blogging platform or tool they should choose.

I’m not going to tell you which blog platform you should use because, as you will see, there are good reasons for choosing most of the available platforms, depending on the goals of your blog and your own technical resources.

Over the years, the choices available to bloggers have grown, while the technicalities involved in blogging have shrunk. This means that now more than ever there really are options to suit every potential blogger. It’s now so easy that anyone can have a blog working in five minutes flat.
