I am thinking about starting a blog. Which site should I use?

[Emanuel E]

Blogspot? Wordpress? Tumblr? What's a good blog site that I can use? I might be doing more than one because I want to touch on different topics.

Wordpress is best. It supports lots of themes and add-ons. You don't need programming knowledge to use Wordpress

I you'd like to start with a free blog, Blogger.com is the best- it does not add forced ads under your post, but Wordpress.com does. Detail comparison can be found from this article "Which Is the Best Free Blog/ Blogging Website, Blogger or Wordpress"- http://www.bloggerjourney.com/2013/01/wh...gging.html

If you don't mind to pay web hosting fee, then Wordpress if the best- most web hosting companies provide one-click installation.

Here's a quick break down of some of the options you have. No option is "better" or "the Best" out there. That is all a matter of taste and what works for you personally. Try them all out and see what works for you.

Wordpress.com - A large community for blogging with social features built in. It's also a good starting point on the path to one day getting a host and creating your own website. Wordpress.org is the same software that Wordpress.com uses and it's free to use when hosting your own site with hosting providers like FastWebBuilder.com

Blogger.com - Blogger is owned by Google so they have integrated all of their services with it, including Google Plus, YouTube etc.

LiveJournal.com - This is kind of the Grand Daddy of blogs. They were originally out of San Fran, but are now owned by a Russian media company. Still a very good site with many features for interacting socially.

Tumblr.com - Tumblr is a new comer and has a lot of social activities associated with it along with the standard blogging capabilities.

I would suggest getting an account with all of them since they are free. In order to reach the most people you may want to link your blog to multiple sites so you are easily found.

You should then get a Stumbleupon.com account so you can share your blog with other like minded people. It is a great social bookmarking service that will help you expand your horizons while your blog reaches many other people.

When you get your blog up and going you should probably look into getting a domain name as well. I've had great service with Fast Web Builder and their prices are pretty good. You can get your domain name and point it to your blog. You can find more information here:

There is something to be said for having your own site and not being tied into one service. Just remember to have fun with your blog and others will enjoy it as well.

Good Luck on your new blog!
