For all the bloggers out there, Where is your favorite free place to blog?
Google's Blogger and WordPress are my favorite places to blog. I haven't done it in a while though. Should get into again...
So you think one is better than the other?
I use Blogger. A lot of folks like Word Press better, but it's not as idiot friendly as Blogger, which is why I don't use it. They typos aren't as funny either. Blooger is what I usually end up typing.
Incidentally, however, I'm getting a website up and running and I am going to be using Word Press for that.
Blogger does seem to be user friendly. Thank you
I personally love Blogger and Tumblr.
Blogger - I like the features on it, and how the stats and traffic information is recorded so you can view it later.
However I found that I haven't been very successful with traffic on this site.
Tumblr - I love the community on there. Tumblr users always refer to us as 'one big family' and I definitely feel it. You get to connect with people from all over the world. So far I've interacted with others my age and who share the same interests and likes. Everyone seems very friendly.
Also, I love that Tumblr has hundreds of layouts (called 'themes') to choose for your blog, and there are so many ways to customize it to your liking!
I actually wrote an article on the reasons why I love Tumblr. It would be on my profile - feel free to check it out if you like
Thank you! See this is why I posted this question... I was hoping to find out about places besides blogger and wordpress. I'll certainly check out your hub!
I like to fool around with blogger. I have used wordpress as well and just continue to go back to blogger!
I use blogger because I'm technically challenged, but have started to experiment with Tumblr.
I like Blogspot & blog.com which is very user friendly to add content & images.
I had started blogging with wordpress but found I couldn't monetize without paying and was not ready to invest in something I was not sure about. Therefore, I went to Blogger and loved it. That is until Google banned my adsense. That leads me to tumblr where I am finding some great inspiration and motivation to continue my online quests:)
Blogger is my favourite, though I do like Wordpress too.
I did a hub comparing the two~ with the pros and cons of each. I find Blogger the quickest, easiest and most user-friendly and yet versatile platform
