What Blog Script Should I Use

When starting a blog you have to decide if you want to use the free blog hosting services of a site like Blogger.com and WordPress.com or to host your own blog.

The benefit of using the free blog services is it’s easy to set up and it is hosted for free. Their upgrades are automatic or in the case of wordpress – Automattic.

The downside is you don’t have full control of those sites and they could delete your blog without notice. You also have a sub domain like www.your-username.blogspot.com or www.your-username.wordpress.com

I highly recommend registering your own domain name and purchase hosting (If using GoDaddy check out our GoDaddy Coupon Codes post) and download the WordPress.org blog script. It is very simple to set up with their famous 5-minute installation. You can also choose from a variety of themes to upload or if you want to make your blog really stand out, get a custom made Wordpress theme.

Happy Blogging!
