When you want to decide which type of blogging platform would work best for your needs and which one you would recommend to others. It turns out to be not very simple.
Each of the platforms has some serious advantages and some serious drawbacks.
Thus rather than recommending one above the others, I will give you an overview of what is good and bad about them and why I would recommend a particular platform.
To make a long story short, I recommend Blogger for people who don’t want to pay for a service and for those who want a quick and easy blog as this one hardly take’s any maintenance or technical know-how.
For people who want the all-around best solution,and like to get ‘techie’ (know how to do installs, use unix and ftp, etc), it’s definitely WordPress from wordpress.org. This is the most flexible, you can control your data and it will do almost anything you want if you find the right plug-ins or code.
But you have to have the know-how and desire to use it and it is only as good as you make it. And you have to have somewhere to install it like a web hosting service.
