Server-based Blogging Tools

The kind of blogging software tool that we use and that you can choose from is server-based tools. There are two varieties of such tools: blog hosting service provider tools and server-based publishing tools.

The first variety is automatically provided by your blog hosting service provider. Hosted blog software tools are very easy to use and you do not have to install any software or manage any configuration too difficult to comprehend. These kinds of tools can help you focus on publishing your content.  Two of the tools in this category that are the most widely used are Blogger.com and WordPress.com.

With the use of hosted software tools, you are also provided with an assortment of design templates. These can help you in choosing the desired layout that suits your blog. More so, the layouts can be easily customized, including the fonts, columns, colors, etc.

On the other hand, publishing tools you install on the server has the advantage of giving you the level of customization and control you need over the configuration settings. Through the use of these kinds of server-based tools, you can decide how much storage space you allocate, extend the features of your blog through plug-ins or add-ins and make custom layouts and pages.  

The mostly widely used tool in this category and the one this blog and many others that we have use wordpress.org (not to be confused with wordpress.com).  WordPress.com is hosted for you and WordPress.org is installed and hosted on a server like bluehost.  While the .com versions of blogging tools require less technical knowledge, wordpress.org has more flexibility and besides there are wonderful tools that give you step by steps to get started. 

Below are tools we have used to get step by step instructions on building, hosting and marketing our blogs.
