Blog Software

[Jason]

What blog software do you find interesting? Now, of course, I'm thinking most people will say WordPress, but it's not all that out there, and I don't mean rinky-dink stuff that nobody is interested in.

Well, what stuff do you know about? I know one blog software is Ghost. Who has used that? Is it premium or free or something in between?

Ghost is free to use since it’s open source; however, you’ll need to install it on your own server.


I’ve personally never tried it, but I’ve seen some blogs that use the software.



Drupal is another blogging platform that isn’t too bad.



Concrete5 is similar to WordPress. Hugo (The world’s fastest framework for building websites) is a framework you can use to build a blog as well. @Gian uses it on their blog. It’s pretty neat!

I have only ever used either WordPress or Blogger but have heard of Ghost just have not checked it out.

WordPress has always been the one that has provided me with everything I have needed.

I have tried Ghost as well as Hugo but I like Wordpress more than anything. I do not think there isd anything better than Woprdpress for blogging

I've always stuck to wordpress, I did try Joomla for awhile but wordpress was still better.

Of all of all the blogging software that I have used, WordPress remains my first choice. It is flexible and it has a lot of plug-ins to choose from. I prefer to use WordPress over other blog softwares for these features.

What are some of your go-to plugins when you're running a wordpress blog? Are there any particular ones that you feel are must haves?

There are lots of blogs that outline the main set, but mostly ad supports, spam blocking, SEO indexing, that kind of stuff.

The SEO optimization and security plugin is one of my best plugins on WordPress. I use Yoast SEO plugin. It's a very popular plugin for search engine optimization.

I personally like Joomla the most. I think it's easy to navigate the ACP and install plugins. IMO it's a bit difficult to find what you're looking for in Wordpress' acp.
