New Review Site: Blog Software

In this internet-centric world it almost seems like you don’t exist if you don’t have a blog. Of course, there are plenty of good reasons to have a blog other than to prove to your family that you know what that “internet thing” is. Blogs are great for expressing opinions, sharing ideas, showcasing your talents and hobbies or just keeping family and friends up to date on what’s going on. The best part is that blogging is a really simple process and many different websites have provided easy ways to create and maintain a blog. Even better: you don’t have to wonder which one you should choose because TopTenREVIEWS has reviewed and ranked the best Blog Software out there.

Blog software is supposed to simplify the blogging process, and the TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award winner, Wordpress.org, does just that. Wordpress provides a simple entry system that allows you to upload text, pictures and video easily. You can also download plugins that allow you to expand functionality and insert things like music, polls, and calendars into your posts. Wordpress is also noteworthy for providing a built-in stat system that lets you see how many people view your posts and where they come from. Read the full review.

You can create posts and update your blog through email, smartphones or PDAs. Typepad is also great for submitting your posts to blog feeds and search engines so other people can find your posts quickly and easily. Read the full review.

Receiving the TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award is Squarespace, a site that isn’t well known among the majority of bloggers, but which is still favored by a lot of big businesses. The biggest reason to use Squarespace is customization.
