So, have you decided to start blogging but not sure which blogging platform would be best for you? In this article I am going to explain which of the two may be the best solution for your needs, either WordPress or Blogspot.

Today the most widely used is WordPress, but that depends on your point of view, as there are thousands of new bloggers who choose Blogspot over WordPress simply because Blogspot is free and more customizable than the free version of WordPress.

Even so WordPress.com offers you some themes that you can use there is not much you can do to customize it or use a theme you found online on your blog, since they do not allow you to upload themes or plugins, that’s why Blogspot wins the heart! of new bloggers because you can easily find a theme online or design your own (if you have the coding/web design skills) and use it freely!

Now, if you want to be serious about blogging, you have to keep in mind the long term, and in this case it would be better if you sign up with a hosting provider and get a domain name for your blog as it would look more professional. It is not that free blogs are not professional, since what makes a blog is its author and not the design, if it is free or whatever. But in my own experience I found that if you have your own domain you have more respect and of course more control over your website as you can upload themes, plugins and you don’t risk having your blog shut down. of the blue as it happens with the free services!

If you’re only willing to have one “hobby blogging” just to post your thoughts or to stay in touch with your friends/colleagues than you would feel better about choosing blog point instead of WordPress as it’s really simple and doesn’t require too much work to set up. You just have to have a Google account and choose the title and URL of your new blog, after that, all you have to do is start sharing your thoughts!

For serious blogging you’d be better off with him wordpress as it would give you full control over your blog and thus you could and should customize it the way you want with tons of free plugins and themes available on the world wide web.

As I said at the beginning of this article, the choice within WordPress or Blogspot is just a matter of what you need, if you want prestige and respect online, go with WordPress on your own hosting account.
