isitafox Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Can anyone recommend me a decent blog website? Just got into following a few from on here and fancy having a go myself, for my own satisfaction if nothing else, but there's that many to choose from I don't know who to go with. Would be useful to be able to update it from my Android phone for the odd occasions I do get out and about if that makes a difference. Cheers! EDIT: I'm tempted to go with blogger.com as it's run by google so should be pretty interactive with my phone though if anyone could point out the pros and cons I'd be grateful.

AndrewEH1 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Tumblr is silly though...unless I'm being the silly one. Tumblr doesn't recognise apostrophes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Either sign up to wordpress.com or set up your own domain with a wordpress install on a free hosting service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I use Wordpress at work and to run my site, but I've known many nerds now switch to Tumblr now. Seems to be becoming a "trend". Wordpress is too bloody complicated these days. I use at least 10 plugins on each Wordpress site these days, all of which need updating manually. Such a ballache. They regularly "go wrong" as well, but Tumblr just doesn't offer the flexibility of Wordpress yet. If you're looking to just run a blog rather than a blog site representing your skills with code though, I wouldn't even consider Wordpress these days.

Max Quinn Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yer if you want to present something as more of a professional website, use Wordpress. If it's your little personal Blog use Blogger or something. Tumblr's an option I guess but I class it more as a social media type platform rather than blogs.

BONGO Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Depends what youre after. I have a blog which i made look like a website. For me, a cheaper, easier way of having a website and being able to update it quickly from any computer, and from my phone. www.bongo177.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 If its a traditional blog, use blogger. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
