Squarespace is a SaaS-based content
management system which features LayoutEngine, superb media
management, and real-time comments. This blogging platform is
not that flexible, owing to lack of a developer community.
Unlike WordPress, users depend on SquareSpace for all new
features and themes. Although they provide an extensive range of
visually striking themes, their services are very expensive.
Tumblr is a microblogging system and
social networking website owned by Yahoo! Inc which doesn't
support native comments, but users can install Disqus comments
on many of their featured themes. This platform allows users to
post content to a short-form blog.
Blogger is a blog-publishing
service owned by Google that allows users to have up to 100
blogs per account. The blogs are hosted at a subdomain of
blogspot.com. Unlike Wordpress, Blogger
cannot be installed in a web server. One has to use DNS
facilities to redirect a blogspot domain to a custom URL.
Blogger allows its users to choose from various templates
available, and fully customize them. They provide built-in
Google AdSense modules.
WordPress is the most popular blogging
platform which powers more than 17% of the web! Everything from
simple websites, to blogs, to complex business websites. A
WordPress website is extremely flexible while still being
easy-to-use. As the most popular open source CMS on the web, it
has a vibrant and supportive community. With WordPress, users
can create any type of website they want: a personal blog
or website, a photo blog, a business website, a professional
portfolio, a government website, a magazine or news website, an
online community, even a network of websites. Users can make
their website beautiful with themes, and extend it with plugins.
WordPress comes packed full of features for every user, for
every other feature there's a plugin directory with thousands of
plugins. Users can add complex galleries, social networking,
forums, social media widgets, spam protection, calendars,
fine-tune controls for search engine optimization, and forms.
For more fine-grained SEO control, there are plenty of SEO
plugins to take care of that for users. Plenty of web hosts
offer one-click WordPress installers that let clients install
WordPress with, well, just one click. Blogs created on other
platforms – Blogger, Tumblr, LiveJournal etc. –
can be imported into WordPress with a single click.
Did you know that you can get a unique web address for your WordPress
website?
At Blogger.com, every site has a web address
that ends with blogsopt.com, which is the default address you get
when you sign up. But you may notice that some sites have custom
domains, such as yoursite.com, instead of yoursite.blogspot.com
or yoursite.tumblr.com. Owning your domain name personalizes your own cozy corner of the
Internet, helps to build your serious presence across the web,
and distinguishes your work within your niche, field, or
industry.
