Where should you blog?

There are many blog hosts and applications available today it is just a matter of finding the one that suits you and your business. Before deciding on which platform to use ensure you have a good look around each one, checking out the features and the ease of use.

There are several things you may need to look at when choosing your blog platform but the two main things are the purpose in which the blog is used.What are you planning to use it for? And your technical ability is another issue, no point choosing a platform that requires you to understand loads of technical jargon if you have no idea what it all means.

Here are a few blogging platforms that you may wish to have a look around:

 Word Press is fast becoming one the more widely used blogging platforms and in some cases you may already have it on your website control panel.

Blogger   is probably the most widely used free blogging platform available.

Typepad is also another popular blog platform but it does offer some restrictions when using the free version and some programming skills would very much come in handy for this platform.

Flickr recently purchased by Yahoo is growing in leaps and bounds. Flickr is primarily a photo sharing service.

Skype also has a chat interview component which can be great for podcasts and video or voice chats.

This list is certainly not extensive, there are other blogging platforms out there, just do a search and it will return many for you.

Best of luck with creating your own blog. If you have already taken the leap and set one up be sure to share the details with us here.
