Blog advice

March 30th, 2010
Can anyone recommend a good site for setting up a blog?? I've been asked by a friend to help him set up a blog and take pictures for it and I think I've seen people mention having them on here. Basically it needs to be fairly simple but take pictures and texts and look a bit professional if poss - am I asking too much? Help!

I've used wordpress in the past but tumblr was recommended to me by someone else. Tumblr looks better to be honest. You can customise the html, colours etc. If you need any help with the html let me know.

I second tumblr, I actually used it as my portfolio site before I got a real site. I use it as a photoblog now. It's really easy to customize, and it's simple to use.

I use wordpress for a personal blog and for our work blog. I've never tried tumblr, but did try blogspot. Wordpress is less customizable than blogspot, but has great statistics so you can see how many people are visiting and how they found you.

I use Blogspot to write my actual blogs, but I use Tumblr to collate RSS information from various sites (including this one) and organise it...

Personally, I use Blogspot. I've tried out many other blogging platforms (including WordPress) and found them all completely frustrating and difficult to use. Blogger is extremely simple to set up, which is nice if you aren't familiar with HTML or CSS. It also gives you full access to edit those languages, if you do want to manipulate the look and function of your site. Hands down, I believe it's the best blogging platform out there.
