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.
