So far we are doing great ! We have been learning about what is a domain and what is hosting and how to get free and cheap web hosting services, it is now time to learn more about blogging platforms.

Blogging platforms, blogware or “Weblog software” is the blogging tool or software that bloggers use. Kind of like Photoshop, the software preferred to be use by photo enthusiast or by Microsoft Office or Open office, the software used by those who have office work to do.

There are almost 50 blogware available, majority of which are open source and developer hosted. Only a small number of them are proprietary.

Blogwares are often reffered to as “Content management system” because they specialize in managing, authoring, editing, and publishing of blog posts and comments. With it you an also manage videos and pictures.

In this blog we will only discuss two of the most popular and most common blogware used by bloggers these are Blogspot (or popularly known as blogger) and Wordpress.

Wordpress comes in two flavors, there is the free account which you can get for free at their website and there is the self hosted wordpress account.

Each of these has their own advantages and disadvantages. We will be presenting them in a table in order for you to be able to decide properly which one you should choose. So in this table take a look at the comparison between blogspot vs. wordpress or you could consider this as blogger vs. wordpress.

Whew ! I’m sure looking at the table and comparing features must be quite challenging for you. I reckon that you end up much more confused then you were at first. So in order for you to be enlightened more, let me tell you about my own personal experience.

I first started blogging for several months with blogger. Later on I switched to a self hosted wordpress account. The reason for my switching is obvious, I aimed to be “more serious” with my blogging career. Free accounts just couldn’t meet my needs anymore.

So the tip I am giving you is simple, if you are serious about your blogging career, then consider spending a little dough and get yourself a self hosted wordpress account.

Again, I am not saying that blogspot are only for amateurs and self hosted wordpress are for pros. All I am saying is that, you are limited when you use a free service. That is why it is much better to switch to self hosted wordpress considering the features that are available to you albeit at a certain price.

Up to today, I maintain several blogspot accounts. Three of my main blogs including this one are however done on a self hosted wordpress account. To get a cheap hosting software wherein you can install wordpress in a breeze try signing up with vodahost. Click on the picture to get an account today !
