The Finest Blogging Tools

If you are starting a blog, what is the best blogging package that you could use? Which is simple to set-up, breathtaking to customise and well search engine optimised?

In my view, there is only one truly fabulous piece of blogging program on the internet. But it is not always the best for all people, there are sometimes alternatives whilst not the best for the stacks, are better for distinct niches?

So what attributes make up the best blogging tools on the market? I believe that it has to:

* Be free to use - there are so numerous paid for blogging tools around, why pay for program?

* Be flexible and extendible - if you want to add a feature to it, for instance site maps, captcha checked contact forms, this must be simple to do.

* Be simple to set-up and install.

* Be easy to make it look different to other sites - there is no point in running a professional website that looks like 3,000,000 other sites.

* Have ready made (and free) off-the-shelf styles readily available to install at the touch of a button.

* Be well search engine optimised and accepted by the search engines.

* Ideally, it should have a community of other bloggers that could also drift in excess of to your new weblog from related blogs.

Well, in my view WordPress.org ticks all but the last of the above boxes. There is merely that last box left unticked. In fact, if you look into WordPress.com, that does have the community of bloggers in the version of WordPress that it hosts, but there is not the flexibility and if you are running schemes as for instance paid posting, you are not allowed to run a website there.

WordPress is also easy to install. If you are comfortable with downloading, unzipping and FTPing to a server, then it is simple to set-up and create it onto nigh on any paid hosting account. If you are not so technically competent and are only setting up a website for tasks let's say home working, then the other great news about WordPress is that ample of hosts have simple installation systems. With these, you buy the domain name and some hosting and straightforwardly press a button or two and the program is installed for you.

But, what if you don't want to, or might't afford to, pay for hosting? Well, there are still pieces of blogging program to use and in this case, take a look at Blogger, which is my second preferred for blogging. There are not so plenty of avenues open to you, but it is still only a few clicks to install Google Adsense to earn a bit of cash and you are allowed to earn some extra cash through paid posting.

So, that is my recommendations for the best blogging program. Ideally you should install WordPress, but if you don't want to pay a penny for the tool, then take a look at Blogger. Between them, they have everything covered. Happy blogging and feel free to leave a comment as to how you got on with your new site.
