What's the best blog software?

Post by _Dr. Shades »

What's the blog software that nets you the most visits? blogspot.com, wordpress.com, or something else?

Also, which one is the easiest to use?

Thanks in advance!

Wordpress involves downloading, it's more a program where you can edit and produce your blog which you then upload(well that's what I found anyway. Blogger is really common. I use blog.co.uk, but I'm british. It depends what you are looking for. If you want more traffic then go for the ones that come up first when you google blog and if you want better quality, then shop around see what offers more. Most allow the use of html anyway so its a matter of using your imagination really.

P.s. I found wordpress was more complicated and I found it difficult to arrange the pictures how I wanted in blogger. I do however like blog.co.uk because I find it easy to use but it is a bit awkward to find how to write a new post because it is a bit jumble mumble but once you are in it's easy.

There's "Wordpress", which is the code that you install on a webserver and manage yourself (kind of like running your own website), and then there's "Wordpress.com" which is hosted for you.

If you host Wordpress yourself (or sign up with a web host that provides Wordpress), it's pretty dang customizable, with a huge community of people doing tweaks, mods and customizations. And the host can usually do the install and maintenance for you.
