Best blogging platform

[Steven Groves]

Dave M sent me a question using email about why I use one blogging platform versus another.

Here is what he asked -

"Hey Steve,

I noticed you're using Typepad for your new blog. Did you consider Wordpress? In my opinion, it's a better platform for social media. It has these adavantages:

- Rapidly growing user community
- large developer base
- Huge selection of widgets (add-ons)
- More themes- commercial & free
- scalability into full CMS
- Better out of the Box SEO
- Better SEO widgets
- More community oriented add-ons

Typepad is a great product, but Wordpress plays a little bit better with others.

P.S. For your Joomla project, check out www.joomlatutorials.com and www.alledia.com"

To answer Dave, I did. I also appreciate the relative benefits of a WordPress install, but for the ease of use, cost and reduced technical burden, I still like TypePad.

I have had & do have other blogs on WordPress. I also have a degree in programming, so I think I could master WordPress well enough, but I like to apply technology better than configuring & managing it.

Thanks for the tips on Joomla training too...

Steve,

I didn't see this until today. When it comes to blogging, content counts. You should always use the tools that enable creativity. It sounds like you've made the right choice. I'll have to take a closer look at Typepad and see what I'm missing.
