I was really in the verge of wondering why some bloggers chose to use different blogging tools. I came up with 4 famous blog tools which (I think) everyone uses in the blogsphere. :p First on the list obviously is WordPress. I find it easy to use but mind you making themes and upgrading isn’t that easy specially when you’re manually upgrading it. Coding and stuffs is not really my favorite hobby but I would love to try it some time. You’ll also encounter lots of PHP blah blah in coding one. WordPress people are very diligent on upgrading their system, FYI, they’re now working with version 2.8 even if 2.7′s the latest and newly released version. Backing up and restoring databases is a bit easy, too, but of course on the first time I did it, it’s the other way around. It features a loooooot of plugins for the blog’s improvement, too. I chose this blog tool because it’s the only one available on my cPanel, actually there are some but I don’t know how to use them.

Next one’s CuteNews. I don’t know much about this but according to their website, bloggers don’t need to have mySQL for their storage of files. I think their admin’s user interface is very friendly. :p

Third on the list is FanUpdate. It has basic pod casting support blah blah which I can’t understand that is related to RSS feed. And the most shocking is all the coding should validate XHTML 1.0 strict. Though I didn’t know about the XHTML stuff, I think it’s hard… or not! C’mon tell me what’s XHTML 1.0 strict!

And the last but not the least, Blogger! aka blah.blogspot.com. I once had a blog here but I deleted it. Here, you can use a domain to point to their IP or just be contented with the subdomain stuff which I never liked making me delete my blog there. There are wide collections of themes that you can use here! This theme actually is for blogger but I converted it to WP remember? No need to install anything in FTP clients like the first 3 blog tools.

Questions!
What blog tool are you using right now? Why?
Are you having a hard time in using your blogging tool?
Choose one among the 4 tools you wanna use.

PS. I’ll have a new layout up on the 10th. So watch out for it, though it’s another converted theme from blogger. :p
