Choosing a Blog Tool

Hi! I am planning to include a Blog into my Web site. I have two Blog tools that I am evaluating. They are WordPress and Movable Type. Does anybody have experience with any of those tools? How is your experience with them? Which one you recomend me? Thanks.

There are a few posts in the forums on this topic. I have just started blogging too, and it's really working.

I ended up going with Typepad. This was mostly because my wife had been using Typepad for her own blog for a while and was more comfortable setting things up on that blog. it seems like from what other members said, Wordpress is really popular.

Through my research, I I have found that WordPress is the one most recommened. It is because it has lots of features and a solid interface. I will be submitting a blog soon on just this subject. It is going to cover the subject of "Blogging for Profit". If you need suggestions on where to host your blog. I too can recommend to places. Because you may already have a company to host with, I won't intrude on your decision.



Thanks for letting me share..



Yours in Success,

Lawren

We use WordPress blogs for all our website design clients. I would highly recommend this one.



They have tons of free addons as well to power your blog.

I use Blogger, which is much more flexible than Typepad (Moveable Type), much easier to customize if you are into doing this. So it depends on your level of comfort with technology. Blogger is more flexible, therefore better, but Typepad is easier to use.

I highly recommend WordPress. You can use a free template, or buy one. I've done both. I really like all the free plugins you can add to WP to enhance your blog.



Some links to check out templates are:
