When I have first been introduced to blogging like seven
years ago and didn’t have the slightest idea of what was going on. I thought
that blogs take a professional to be that much amazing. Little did I knew that
designing a blog can be so easy and cheap, like you won’t to have spent a penny
on it, but these days after a massive reading on how to design your blog I
discovered that it is quite cheap and easy to design your dream blog, so keep
on reading to find out how.
STEP ONE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLATFORM.
In this post I’ll talk about the first step or the base of
blogging which is choosing the right platform. Of course any blogger knows
about the two most known blogging platform which are BLOGGER and WORDPRESS, but
which one is more suitable for you. You may find some people are using blogger
or wordpress or maybe changing from blogger to wordpress, but the thing you got
to understand blogging is like trends, you have to adapt which suits you best.
BLOGGER:
·
The most important characteristic
about blogger and the main advantage is that it is free. You won’t have to pay
a penny to have a blogger blog.
·
It is connected with other
google products, so it will provide you with already installed widgets that
will help you a great deal.
·
Designing your blogger in
blog is free; unless you paid someone to do it for you, but you can totally
design your dream blog for free and it is so easy, you will find a tutorials
that will help you a great deal.
·
In the cons side you can
say that blogger is old, no new updates has been going on it sense a very long
time.
·
Blogger is owned by google
not you, so at any time google decide that it will no longer operate it, you
would lose your blog.
WORDPRESS:
·
Wordpress on the other hand
is up to date and it gives you this super ultra-modern look.
·
It is easier to use than
blogger.
·
It provides you with a
complete ownership over your blog.
·
Wordpress would have been
great if it weren’t that expensive. This
is the worst and disadvantage of wordpress.
There is wordpress.com and wordpress.org
WORDPRESS.COM doesn’t demand money, but on the downside, you would
have to choose between certain themes and you can’t change anything in your
blog, from fonts or colors or the size of your picture, it provides you with no
control over your theme’s look.
WORDPRESS.ORG You would have to pay a yearly payment to have it
and then you would have to design your blog from scratch which will demand more
money.
Before I started this blog on blogger I tries wordpress.com
and discovered that at least blogger provide you with the ability to design
some stuff in your blog, so I have changed back to blogger, especially that I
am a broke college girl, lol.
BUTTOM LINE, If you are broke like me, get yourself a
blogger blog, I will show you how to get a sophisticated look out of it. If you
want to spend money on blogging, Wordpress is better for you and I totally
recommend it.
Great post, the pros and cons to both are very helpful!
