Hi everyone!
I'm a new member, I'm here for free web hosting... I would like to set up a blog. But I don't know what's the best blog system. Some tellme that blogger is the best, and other tellme that I must use WordPress. What's the better blog system for you?? |

I personally recommend wordPress. No particular reason for this recommendation I must say. I don't really work with blogs very much. You can get a blog hosted on a website made specifically for hosting blogs. You could get a subdomain like "yourblog.blogsite.com" or something. Or if you get hosted here at trap17, you can buy your own domain and host your blog there. All you would have to do is install wordPress through the fantastico script installer included in the Cpanel with trap17 hosting. Then you can have "yourblog.com".

It all depends on what you want out of your site. If you simply want a blog and pretty much nothing else, I would recommend using Wordpress. However, if you want to build a website with a blog as its main features, you should use the CMS. I have heard different things about different CMS software, so I recommend that you decide what CMS is the best at http://opensourcecms.com. I have heard good things about Joomla, but I would check out more than one CMS before you make a decision.

WordPress for the WIN!
I've used WordPress for many months, It's simple to use, Easy to install skins and plugins, and is a fresh breath (which has been so for a long time)  If you can't be assed getting yourself some hosting and set it up manually (or through cPanel's Fantastico) then get some Blogger thing. I also think WordPress gives free subdomains plus small hosting (yourname.wordpress.org) or something. |

I've only created a couple of Blogs during my Web Creation Career. However, I used Blogger.com and it was good to me. Pretty easy to use and what not, too.

I've heard about Wordpress and joomla. I don't really know about blog systems was was thinking of making one for my website and would say that this thread really helped me out.

I don't think Joomla has an in-built blogging system, but I could be wrong.
There's atleast Blog Addons for it though, so no stress if you have setup Joomla. |

I would say go for WordPress. Being on Trap17, it would give you way more than what Blogger.com ever will. Blogger hardly has any good advantages of it's own and the readymade templates are plain ugly for me.
Many, many, many more features. Most customization. Better standards. So many skins and plug-ins. A great community to hold your back. It's like owning a really nice web-site rather than having a "blog". It's not just out of a fad that WordPress is basically called the best blogging platform and I've been using blog systems for almost two years now and nothing, absolutely nothing beats WordPress. But if you need something more than a blog, you can go for CMSs. Someone mentioned the link to Open Source CMS. Give it a try, that's the best place to discover new and compare CMSs according to your own needs. |

nucleus is a good blog plus it lets you create several other smaller blogs. Like wordpress, nucleus is very easy to learn and simple, great skins and very small and compact. I would recommend you to try the Nucleus before Wordpress, you'll be amazed.
