wordpress is the best blogging platform till date - if you want to start your own blog with own domain and hosting and if now then also you can have wordpress as your blogging platform in wordpress.com hope it helps...
Wordpress is best if you install it on your own domain+hosting IMO because you can use so many useful plugins with that as well as you can use your choice theme (lots of available free) DON.
IMO, if you can afford to get a domain and hosting i prefer wordpress But if your starting to do blogging, i highly suggest you try blogger/blogspot first before doing wordpress
If you do blogger, get a cheap domain from godaddy (info domains are $1.99) and use it for your blog instead of blogspot. Best $1.99 you could ever spend and you DON'T need hosting - just a domain.
self hosted wordpress.. if you want flexibility go for it blogger is good too.. but everybody just love WP
it's wordpress for sure you can also use druplal but wordpress is better in my eyes because it's easier to handle
Thanks for the Wordpress tip. I've dabbled with Blogger before but am about starting my business blog (self hosted) tonight if all goes well...!
Will cast my vote for Wordpress as well, but only the self hosted one. Blogger is ok if you want to go cheap, but you should go with WP and have it on your own URL.
You want to self-publish a Wordpress Blog for several reasons but here's just one. Blogger has the right to cancel you at any time. If your blog is important to you then you need to protect it.
WordPress. I have tried others, but there is no comparison. The WordPress community is huge and very active in the development of the platform, including themes, plugins, etc.
If blogging then Wordpress , soon WP will reach the limits of joomla. Now we have WP 2.8 beta with more features.
