The Best Blog Script

Blogging seems to be getting more and more popular, anyone and everyone seems to own a blog these days. Setting up a blog could seem a bit of a daunting task, there are several options – free hosted blogs, paid blogs or even creating your own script.

If you are a coder, creating your own blog from scratch might seem appealing – however you will have a lot to compete with. The latest offering for Word Press features a vast array of features that would take the coder months to design.

Over the last few months we have been playing about with several blogging platforms. It seems that the best options for most bloggers would be WordPress. WordPress is a easy to use free script. It is also widely supported, therefore users will have a vast array of free addons to select from – from twitter integration, to SEO packs.

Blogging For SEO

Having a blog is one thing, but people need to find it. Getting a high ranking in the search engines and getting search engines to regularly index your blog is key. This is again where WordPress excels – the ping feature makes sure when you make a new post your blog automatically tells all the right people. Also the SEO pack for WordPress will make sure all the search engines will fall in love with your blog.

You may not always be at home, but still want to blog. If you own a iPhone WordPress is the best option. iPhone users can download a free WordPress Apps which enables you to connect an make posts easily from your phone. We tested this app a few months ago, it works really well and is simple to use – the best thing is this app is free.

WordPress, is there a negative?

WordPress offers a 5 minute install guide. For people who have a geek element wont have any issues installing wordpress. However one person we asked to install the script who is quite computer literate found the wordpress easy install guide quite a challenge.

However there is a positive .. At AGL Host all our web hosting plans feature an automatic installer for wordpress. Simply key in your account info and hit install … then you are done!
