You have decided to start a new hobby or career in blogging and cannot decide which blogging tool to use. Your most likely options are Blogger and Wordpress. So which one do you go with.
If you are absolutely new to blogging and do not have your own domain and webspace, select Blogger. However if you are a slightly advanced blogger and have your own domain and webspace, select Wordpress. Wordpress comes in 2 versions: one is the basic version wordpress.com while the more advanced version which you can install on your own webhost can be downloaded from wordpress.org. The version I am recommending for advanced users is the downloadable version from wordpress.org

It is very simple & cheap to create your own online presence on the internet. All you need is around $10 per year. And you don’t need to know html or be too tech savvy. You only need to buy your own domain on a domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap and then use completely free services such as Google’s Blogger and Google’s Apps For Your Domain to host your website & email on your very own domain.
