Top 5 Free Blogging Platforms

1. Blogger (www.blogger.com)

Top 5 free blogging platforms
Despite its declining popularity in recent years, Blogger is one of the oldest free blog sites. This is a definitive solution for personal blogs, but it is not the best source for professional use. It works just like any other hosted site: you must first create an account to use it. Once you have completed it (which is easy), you should select one of the default themes and write your thoughts. 
 

Blogger allows many themes to choose from, each with color filtering, various minimal gadgets, and various skins. But there is nothing too fancy or advanced design customization. The Blogger most focuses on the writing section, but it has simple appearance options. A good part about this site is that it comes with advertising spaces that you can place within your content pieces.

 

2. Ghost (www.ghost.org)

This is another WordPress-like blogging site. Although Ghost software can be downloaded for free, you will need fuel-efficient hosting. Digital Ocean is an excellent service that supports Coast: it's cheap and comes with good features to get you started.

The downside is that installing Ghost is not as straightforward as WordPress, and depending on the host you choose for your blog - some server work can get your hands dirty.

 

Creating a post on Coast is easy once you set up your website. The editor is minimal and straightforward and provides a live preview of your text on the right side of the screen. On the front, you get a medium vibration, so it's nice. Next to the editor screen, there is a sidebar with a setting ton to choose your options.
 

3. Joomla (www.joomla.org)

Joomla is similar to WordPress.org, but not clear when considering the free blog sites available there. It looks Like WordPress, and it is free but needs domain and hosting. As in the case of WordPress, we recommend Bluehost because it is so cheap and reliable (and it also includes a free environment).

It allows you to choose emoticons, color, size, font, tables, or background. That is, the tools in the menu make you feel like you are in a Word window.

 

Joomla Editor has been taped. The first tab is the Classic SMS window, and then you need to change the tabs to select the post types, tags, date, meta description, keywords, etc.

4. Jimdo (www.jimdo.com)

Jim is not just an example of a free blogging site. However, in its free version, blogs are highly recommended, considering the basic features of Jimdo. So go to a few items and quickly build a website with Jimdo (you take the basic questionnaire about the purpose of your site). After you check these options, your site will be created automatically based on your choices. The downside of Jimdo is that you can't have a custom domain (at least not for free), and you can't delete ads until you upgrade.

 

A key feature of Jimdo is that it is a page creator: you create blog posts through the front-end, not through the editor (as other blogs do). This indicates you have to go to any content box on a live page and update it on the spot instead of redirecting it to the next page. The footer and logo can be edited in the same way. When it comes to content elements, you have some options: plain text, text with image, photo gallery, columns, buttons, etc.

You can make additional changes through the left sidebar, such as post date, title, category, status (published or draft), summary, and image preview. In short, your article will be built entirely from the many elements you edit individually. Text, image, button ... the order is yours.

 

5. Tumblr (www.tumblr.com)

Tumblr is one of the most accessible blogging sites on the web. This is a bit 'light' than the others on the list. Unlike most other sites that are often created for publishing purposes, it focuses more on social media or multimedia. You can quickly join, and then you will be able to post.
 

Like a regular blogging site, it offers many different post formats for different types of content. If you have business-based plans, Tumblr may not be the best solution, but it can be used for personal use. It is simple, offers basic customization options, and, as I said before, has a lot of social media vibes.

Although not created for business, it allows you to display ads on your page, use affiliate links, and integrate your blog with Google Analytics.
