I've used lots of different blog platforms...Hi,<br />I've used lots of different blog platforms since they have been available, and even messed with my own rudimentary methods before implified stuff was available. You might still come across some of my old stuff, and even my WordPress blogs. <br /><br />But when I finished up having to work to maintain a coherent theme between websites and across everything form Computers to Tablets to Phones, I settled on Blogger - once I worked out some of the kinks.<br /><br />These days a lot of those kinks have been fixed, and it is fairly straight forward. It is also free, which helps when I asm supporting some of my clients' commercial sites.<br /><br />This Linux blog is just a record of some stuff I do, and very few of my blogs are even updated these days since I retired due to a number of brain injuries and open heart surgeries.<br /><br />I tried to get clients to keep their blogs up to date, or to hand off the updating - but they don;t want to pay strangers an exorbitant amount of money for something they know the actual value of :-)<br /><br />ADVANTAGES of Google 'Bolgger' and hosting on Google 'Blogspot.com'.<br /><br />Google's Blogger platform is fairly easy to get the hang of.<br />Blogger has a decent 'Tag' system for Indexing your posts'<br />Blogger has a lot of online help through Googling a query AND through searching on YouTube for help.<br /><br />Blogspot allows Free OR Paid hosting depending on your needs.<br /><br />Blogspot posts are indexed pretty quickly by Google Search Engine.<br />I've found my Blogspot posts seem to show in a search considerably sooner than my WordPress posts on the same days.<br /><br />I hope this helps.<br />Cheers,<br />RossDRossDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310481048268800561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424049096776975424.post-79651696365966345142020-11-26T05:26:33.500+10:002020-11-26T05:26:33.500+10:00Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform y...Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
