Blog platforms - which is the best?

Expand Post »
As I type this I realize I could be starting a major argument in this forum but what the hell. For people who blog as part of their online community, what is the best (in your opinion) blog platform to use?

For myself, I have set up blogs on Blogger and Wordpress and while both are easier to use, Wordpress is far more flexible.

So lets here your humble opinions.

Re: Blog platforms - which is the best?

I actually have used both as well as an ancient one called TypePad (I dont think it exists anymore) and a previous one on Lycos I think. Anyway, I actually like WordPress and Blogger for different reasons. But if I have to give the awards to the best - well I need to create award categories:
1. Best "Easiest Blogging System" - Blogger
2. Best "Flexible/Adaptable Blogging System" - Word Press

I would agree with your awards but if we are talking the best overall I would tip my hat to WordPress.

OK, I agree with you, Wordpress is the winner.

Wordpress is the best, but you need to know which plugins to add to get the best from it

And therein lies the problem. I find it is a trial and error process when searching for the not only the right plugins type but then which in each category will serve your blog the best.

Re: Blog platforms - which is the best?
I beg to disagree , the ultimate measure of any one particular thing is usability and of course functionality , and blogger beats word press squarely on this twin fronts

Personally, I do not see either of them being miles ahead of the other in the two areas you reference. What I do not see is the massive amount of theme and plugin authorship for Blogger that exists for Wordpress.

Well said... while both Blogger and Wordpress are easy-to-use, Wordpress seems to be much more scalable.
