Blog's Who to use for best results.

[mocgiit]

Hi All,

I am looking to venture into blogging and I wanted to know who the experts use for there blog's. I have heard of blogger and wordpress, but I want something that I can host on my site so I can get credit for the content. I also want it to have RSS feeds and all that stuff as well. I dont know if they all have these features, but I just wanted to know who the experts use.

I look forward to people's responses.

Thanks

IMHO it strongly depends on your capability to interact with the blogging platform - if you're not a programmer you must have someone close by to follow the evolution of your blogging necessities that will change rapidly and dramatically as you get acquainted to blogging. I use WordPress and have found all the funcionalities adequate to meet my needs so far - you'll certainly find others who prefer other popular platforms. In any event be prepared to spend/invest on software implementations - Hope this helps,

Sante

Do you host your wordpress blog? I would like to host it so I can optimize the pages on the blog.

yes we do - with dedicated IP

I prefer to use WordPress...and to host it on a domain that I own. I recommend using it somewhere where you can have full access to the installation, as a customized version of it is far better than the default install with the default templates.

A dedicated IP is not necessary.

Any idea on how to host these on your own with all the back end info using wordpress?

Thanks Everyone. From my research it looks like everyone is using word press.
