5 Biggest Blogging platforms for Bloggers

Today we will talk about 5 biggest blogging platforms that are used by bloggers world wide to blog daily. Huffington Post, reputed news websites, SEO copyrighting websites, food and fashion websites, nearly all reputed article publishing agencies are more or less “BLOGS” which are powered by some of the very best blogging platforms online. 

So here are some of the finest Blogging platforms we have in 2015 that you can use to give your business some online existence or to share your stories and experiences with billions of internet surfers:

WordPress

WordPress is the world’s biggest blogging platform which owns more than 32% percent of the internet according to a research which was done in 2012. Matt Cutt’s(Google Web spam head) said in one of his statements that WordPress is probably the most finest Blogging platform in terms of On site SEO.

More than 2.73 million posts are made everyday according to a very rough estimate and since WordPress owns 58.2% market share of global CMS/Blog arena, they get an estimate of 1.59 million posts daily.

Plugins

You will be able to install tons of Plugins on a premium WordPress blog which is hosted on a separate hosting plan (i.e. Hostgator, Bluehost). These plugins include plugins for SEO, ticker plugins, slider plugins, Popular posts plugins, widget plugins and much more.

Themes

WordPress has tons of awesome Themes which are completely free. Although there are many premium themes but you will surely find a cool free theme for your blog. However, you can get a premium WordPress theme for your blog from many popular theme publishers like Genesis, Mythemeshop etc.

Blogger

Blogger is the second largest blogging platform owned by Google which was started in 1999 by Pyra Labs and later it was purchased by Google in 2003. It’s very easy to start a blog on Blogger, Just have an account on Google and visit Blogger homepage, Sign in again and start blogging once your account is developed.

You can make your first blog post in less than 15 minutes after doing all the setup of your blog. You can make your posts filled under different tags. However, you will get a free .blogspot sub-domain which you can change easily by buying a custom domain.

Template

Blogger allows you to customize your template by dragging and dropping things up and down, dynamic updating, GEO tagging for specified location based blogging. You can also edit your template by messing up with codes if you have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, XML and Javascript.

Or you can search on Google for best Blogger templates and you will find a ton. My recommendation is Templateism who provide great templates for free but you will need to buy a template for 30 dollars if you want the premium support.

Tumblr

Tumblr stands third in my list since it’s a very new platform if we compare it to WordPress and Blogger but they have managed to gather up a large audience. Tumblr has surpassed 227 million blog accounts and their network is still growing.

Themes

Tumblr does not have that vast variety of themes as WordPress and Blogger has. However, you can find some very good Tumblr themes by just searching on Google.

SquareSpace

SquareSpace is a premium blogging platform which have different packages having different ranging from 8 to 50$ per month. SquareSpace is great in terms that their pricing schedule is based almost on volume and not on the idea that the lower members don’t deserve all those awesome features which high class members get.

Templates

People behind SquareSpace focus on making great blog designs which are easy for new coders and designers to edit and modify. SquareSpace has a unique system surrounded by a modular design so you can build a brand new blog easily as snapping the pieces you want to connect together.

LiveJournal

Started first as a social networking websites but later they converted into a blogging platform which is basically a journal community where people share their experiences and tips about any specific niche or thought. In 2007, A Russian company bought LiveJournal but still they look pretty similar to Reddit.

Templates

Live Journal has a ton of templates available for free and you can also edit the design of their templates by just messing up with CSS. Or you can replace the stylesheet.css with your own made Stylesheet to change all the designs with your own made ones.

LiveJournal also works as a secondary web journal which means that you can publish posts on it and then you can embed it on your website.
