What is a blogging platform?

When you choose an email address you typically choose something like John@hotmail.com; Mary@yahoo.com; Learning@aol.com, etc.
Which is typically in the format of <name>@domain.com.

In case of Blogging, the names of yahoo.com; hotmail.com and aol.com are replaced by Blogger,WordPress,TypePad , Live Journal or MoveableType.

These are called as Blogging platforms – to cut down jargons; a blogging platform is a canvas that you should choose to display your online diary.
In my Blog - http://blogmaadi.blogspot.com/; blogspot.com is the blogging platform I use.

Choosing a blogging platform to use is one of the most initial decisions that you make as a blogger. The right platform can make blogging a breeze, and the wrong platform can make blogging a chore.

Finding the right platform isn't always easy, but with a little bit of contemplation and a little bit of research, you will be on your way to finding the perfect blogging platform.

There is no such thing as a blogging platform that is objectively the best platform, because every blogger has unique needs. However, the fact that no two bloggers need the same thing from a blogging platform can make your search for the right platform a bit tricky.
When you are reading reviews of different platforms, try to keep your priorities in mind and do your best to take into account the position that the reviewer is coming from.
