How To Blog Tips

Blogging Software

You Have a Wide Choice of Blogging Software

There are many commercial and free blogging software choices for you (free not only as in free beer, but also as in freedom - you can change the source code if you want - Open Source).

They'll get you started blogging - fast and easy.

Popular among them are:

• Blogger - http://www.blogger.com/
• WordPress - http://www.wordpress.org/
• Radio Userland - http://www.userland.com/
• Movable Type - http://www.movabletype.org/
• Open Journal - http://www.grohol.com/downloads/oj/
• pMachine (now Expression Engine) - http://www.expressionengine.com

Some of these programs run on a remote server. You log in to that server, then make your new entries and publish it to your blog with the click of a button. These are usually free to users.

Another kind is what you install on your own web hosting server, and then run on your own. The editing and publishing all takes place on your webserver. You access the clean and simple user interface through a regular internet browser like MS Internet Explorer or FireFox or Safari.
