Depending upon various factors we are discussing a few top platforms for blogging over the Internet here. Though, there are hundreds of platforms available but when it comes to big ones there are big three platforms for the blogging i.e. blogger, word press, and movable type.
Blogger – this is the easiest for beginners. A blog user doesn’t have to buy a new domain for blogging. Neither have they needed to be an expert of html, xml, nor php languages to customize the blog design. It is just so simpler to sign up and you’re blogging within 3 minutes. Although it sounds great, but there are a few disadvantages of this. You don’t have the level of control on your own domain. This results in shut down of your blog by blogger without any prior notice to you. As well as there is no built-in support. So it is recommended for beginners not for advanced users.
Movable type – this is the platform for those who are advanced blog user. Who have the better knowledge of xml, designing blog templates? In this category you have the control of running multiple blog under same login account. You only need to have a domain, hosting and the knowledge of html, xml and CGI-bin for blog designing. As well as reforms are always required on heavy blogs and plug-ins are complicated to execute. Therefore changing the look and feel is no so intuitive due to poor theme system.
WordPress – this is the best and fastest growing out of all platforms, but no one platform is still perfect. This platform is PHP based so all the web pages are generated on the fly. It is free to install and various plugins are available over the internet that can be uploaded for free. As compared to other blogging platforms, the plug-in system is simpler and a large variety of different plugins is available.
