What is Bloggers Guide all about

 Bloggers guide is a series of interesting, educative, creative and blog enhancing posts which have been well edited by various bloggers in the Tech World. Blogging though free needs some technical know how to get the best out of it. I once experienced this at my early days of blogging. This is one of the reasons am taking my time to start a blog for you, build it, develop it, help you write, give you SEO and a chance to do free guest posting.

Why Did i start this Series

I started this series not to make money or become famous but as a way of appreciating those few bloggers out there with their technology blogs who helped me during my early days in this blogging market. Everybody has an intention to choosing blogging. And i choose it as a way of sharing my experience and Lifestyle.

So i started it for your sake and i will continue my great work which i pray to help many bloggers in the World either from Nigeria, any country. I just gave you the reason why you should always comment and share all my articles so that many beginners like you won't be lost in the blogging Crib.

Blogging Platforms

Previously on my posts How to choose a Blogging Platform and Best Blogging Platforms  in the series bloggers guide i careful explained everything about blogging platforms leaving no trace of doubts. I won't start all over again if you missed it just try and read them. Both know this a blogging platform is "the rock where your weblog stand".

Blogger.com as a Blogging Platform

Blogger.com also previously explained in one of my previous articles, is one of the all time best website to power you little internet home. I would love to go detail so do read carefully a little reference i made to Wikipedia.

"Blogger is a weblog-publishing provider that lets in multi-consumer blogs with time-stamped entries. It turned into advanced through Pyra Labs, which was bought via Google in 2003. normally, the blogs are hosted by means of Google at a sub-domain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be hosted inside the registered custom area of the blogger (like www.example.com). So blogspot.com area publishing could be redirected to the custom domain. A user could have as much as one hundred blogs in keeping with account.

Up till may additionally 1, 2010, Blogger allowed customers to post blogs on other hosts, through FTP. All such blogs had (or nevertheless have) to be moved to Google's own servers, with domains other than blogspot.com allowed through custom URLs. not like WordPress.com, Blogger lets in its users to apply their personal area free of rate, whilst WordPress.com prices round $eleven to use a custom domain. Blogger can not be hooked up on an internet server. One has to apply DNS facilities to redirect a custom URL to a blogspot domain."

After getting a brief on the meaning of blogger.com, i would love to take you through more advanced tips on blogger which no one expects dictionaries to look into.

Advantage And Disadvantage of Using Blogger.com

Everything we humans always want is perfection when we ourselves are not perfect but that doesn't stop us from getting what we want. It will be encouraging enough for every beginner to know the pros and cons of what he is intending to do. Now a quick review

Why you should not Choose Blogger.com

Lets kick of with the important specific reasons why you should run from blogger. But do put in mind while reading this the features you would love to find in a platform so that evaluating would be much more easy to use

Rumors of It not Being Reliable:

This happens to be the first problem you have to consider. I don't imaging you wanting to own a blog in a Crib that is not reliable. During my early days of blogging this was my greatest fear. Still don't know how true this is but somethings should be put into consideration.

During my designs and template customization, i had to search online for pro-bloggers who could help me out since i knew nothing then. That was when i encountered this issue, it was being discussed by lot of bloggers using this platform and many of them tend to support.

With lot of evidence derived from various services offered for free by Google which they later shutdown for reasons still unknown. This became the mitochondrion of bloggers leaving the service for other good platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Tumblr and many others. Reference* read my previous article for list of blogging platforms.

Limitation of Mobile Friendly Templates:

 At the beginning of blogging with Google service, this might not be a real problem for you but when you start getting visitors and impressions there would be a need for a change in the work scheme. What do i mean by this? Blogger offers mobile friendly templates for free and you can customize them all you want.

But does this really make my site look professional? Its a NO from me. As a pro-blogger would say, Making money with your blog starts from your design. I use blogger as a platform here at Ohen's Crib but take a look at my template and compare with other bloggers in the Likes of Nigerian Linda Ikeji. Now am not saying her blog is not Beautiful but every blogger user can easily customize his template to that exact one

Is that what you want too with you blog? Some other blogs have advanced in templates and having to stick to bloggers basic templates is really boring and stocking.

Reasons why you should Use Blogger.com as your Service host

The reasons why you should choose blogger is your host is quite unlimited depending on what you want from blogging.

When i opened my blog with a unique name Ohen's Crib, do you know i got recognized by google in just two days?. that's an amazing function of blogger automatically summit your blog to google immediately without you paying a damn.

Blogger also features a lot of uniqueness by giving you a special admin control panel to let you rule your world without paying any web developer to help you.

Its a whole new home with its writing dashboard where you can so edit to the extent of making everything turn into a photo book or even a video a post. Use colours, Use headings and enjoy blogging.

View and edit you post from one place, Use SEO practices, Add extensions like windows live writers, firebug and many others.

Make your blog look entire like a website by buying custom templates, design your own templates and also use free available templates.

Features Of Blogger.com

Your entire blog apart from your content, entire depend on your host. Everything need for the design, functioning, friendless and also SEO depend on you service host. This is a major case of concern as the above listed options define of blog and make it suitable for our readers and subscribers.

Blogger in this aspect offers us a lot of services, Gadget, templates and many other flexible features which can make us have a great blogging experience, free from limitations.

1. Admin Control Panel

Blogging style turns into fashion and trends with bloggers easy to use control panel which just comprises of a lot of tools summed up into few tools to let you navigate through you blog at ease. Control which includes the following listing
  • A front page which navigate you to the blogs you follow and important news from blogger buzz and also give you a listing of your blogs on that account with the actually all time number of page views. With an easy option to either post directly from there, View all your posts, View you blog just the way visitors see it and finally add a new blog for free within 5 seconds.
  •  To also make navigation easier for you blogger offers a sub menu which showcase to you the basic things in your blog panel: An Overview Page; showing total views in a scale, news from blogger buzz, general updates and many other options. Post Page, Pages, Comments, Google+, Stats, Earnings, Campaigns, Layout, Templates and settings. All the words are self explanatory.
  • Add many other options to spice up your experience.

2. Writing Dashboard

Blogger.com Free Blogging Platform
Writing Dashboard

The writing dashboard is a great combination of tools that can make your writing simple, beautiful and styled. It is a similar to the Microsoft word dashboard with the basic tools for writing available.
  • It features the HTML and Compose mode which allows you write articles directly in HTML format of compose an article with simple text just like in Microsoft word.
  • Writing features the use of Headings, Sub headings, Minor headings and normal text. Also allows you to make text either coloured, italic, bold or underlined.
  •  Medias including photos and videos can be inserted directly from a lot of services, your computer, blog, a URL , Picasa and lot of other services.
  • Writing dashboard features a right sidebar that allows you add labels, schedule your post, add a permalink, add a location, and other options like allow comments and use of line breaks.
  • Lastly a top bar which allows you Publish post, Save post, Preview post and  Close post 
3. Layout Option

The layout option helps arrange your gadgets in a drag and drop style to make it suit your taste. This is where you get to add gadgets to your sidebar, footer, header and allow you arrange how your post body will look. A little hitch among all the available gadgets my favourite is HTML/Javascript because with it you can add lots of spicing to you blog.

To me this is one of the options why WordPress was not a deal for me. Sharing options, social networks, polls, About gadget, Popular post gadget among a countless list of others are available and rated free for all bloggers.

Template Section

The template section is the brain behind your customization, it's look, colours and every other outlook option except gadgets involves this section. This section also give an amazing sub division.
  • Customize and 
  • Edit HTML
 The above listed options are two terms which work hand in hand. This is the same section where you can backup your existing template by downloading the raw file and also Uploading a new template which you must have bought or downloaded free from free online template selling websites.

The customize options lets you design your blog, set you layout (sidebars, footer), choose your theme colours, background image, header customization, body customization and many other options as listed in the page which you should understand easily.

Edit HTML is an advance option for pro bloggers, It allows you edit the frame work of your blog in HTML codes, CSS and many other coding. A bad work on it can destroy you entire blog but that doesn't mean you should not play around. You can play with it as you wish but a little advice, always backup your template by saving an xml file of it before messing with your HTML. Use the preview option whenever you change or add a coding to avoid errors.

Settings Tab

This is the last option i will brief you on. As the name implies. it enable you change a few things in your blog. Your blog description, Title, Privacy Option, Publishing options, HTTPS Settings, Permissions which include adding authors to you blog (multi author blogging), setting who should read you blog, your search preference (Custom robot tag, Meta tag, custom redirects and other options), Language and Formatting, Post and comments, mobile and email, and other options.
Layout


How to Start A Free Blogger Blog

Opening a blogger blog is a simple task which might look complicated if you are not properly guided. Before making the decision to run your weblog on blogger, you must put into consideration, all its pros and cons to avoid making a mistake or even loosing your blogging career.

Lets go on with the step by step guide on opening a blogger blog in just  few a clinks.

Note: Before getting to this step you must have chosen a unique domain for your blog which will be your blog URL immediately it has been published to the web. I advice you make it personal with special word to avoid the "Already exist message from blogger".

Step One

Create a gmail account, if you already have one just note down your email password and name as this will be the main control for your blog. If you don't have an account, establishing one will only take about 20 minutes and you can use it immediately after creating. I recommend gmail because blogs on google services offers all google packages (Drive, Google Plus, Adsence ) making blogging easy, exciting and money making.

Step Two

Log on to Blogger.com  and fill in your email details. Please take note of every word, every Capital letter, small letter, Signs because it is case sensitive. If you forget your password, use the recovery option.

Step Three

Fill in your details in the pop up window,  Your blog title; which is the name of your amazing weblog, Address; Which is the URL of the homepage of your blog, which all links in your blog will direct to. (Note: when filling in your address do not add www. or https. rather just write the address and the blogger sub-domain will add itself).

Take a look at my blog, it's title is Ohen's Crib while its Address is www.ohenscrib.blogspot.com. Yours should look similar when you are through.

Select any template of your choice. These are just simple templates,  which can be edited, changed and upgraded later as you continue blogging.
Blogger.com Free Blogging Platform
Starting Pop up

Step Four

Now you have a blog on the net which should be seen on search engines as from the third day (depending on your weblog name and address) this won't work if you do not post on your blog. This doesn't mean your blog is not live. It is live, it only means that you can only view your blog through your URL.

Other forms to be filled by you are all bonus setup and when it comes to Author profile selection, i recommend you to select Google plus Author profile but you can also use the other option and write about yourself. Both are great.

Step Five

Understanding the control panel; Just refer back to top to read everything i already wrote about the control panel which for now should look a bit unfamiliar but with time and usage it will become flexible for you.

If you want to use a custom domain for your blog, It is also easy and can be done in just a few clicks. But i won't be dealing on it, because am based on free blogger.com in this post. Refer to two of my Friendly tech blogs for that Helplogger.blogspot.com and Ogbonge blog.

Writing Your First Post

After all the read and click click, now its time to write your first post. Write it as a message article and do use the post to tell all your visitors what your blog is all about. Do read post from other bloggers on ways to compose your first post.

This is where i will stop in this teaching post which took me over two weeks to write, edit and preview. The purpose for this well detailed article is to enable young bloggers understand the blogger interface and start a blog without having to call or pay a web developer.

Taking Over Me Live Version, GospelOnDeBeatz Ft Yemi Alade and Phyno

The Nigerian music is going bigger, better and more entertaining though without the lyrics. Alternate sound take on Taking Over me originally produced by band visionary GospelOnDeBeatz after a huge success on Sisi - Praiz Ft Wizkid.

Alternate sounds are actually making live worth watching video from some Nigerian most played songs. Well just as the name implies, "Alternate", they are definitely giving Nigerian music a new look in the Live Versions. Changing its original recording and making it sound great.

Am already falling in love with his (Alternate) dance band because they are giving a remarkable dynamic & syncopation to the live version of musics in Nigeria. Expect more of his work right here on music plus where we talk music, play music and love music .You will Love it.

Top Illegal Activities Nigerians Involve in to Make Money With Reasons

Top Illegal Activities Nigerians Involve in to Make Money With Reasons
Nigerians tend to be one of the most creative set of human beings ever created by the creator. Whenever there is a difficulty or change in living conditions such as circulation of wealth, availability of job opportunities and other conditions including Natural disasters. Africans have a high possibility of surviving. Taking a review back during the World Trade by Barter tragedy, Nigerians still stood to survive torture and oppression.

Apart from being strong naturally, Nigerians are lovers of wealth, fame, Mansions, and Ladies. Yea ladies "we have passion for ladies even before our birth". This unending love and strength has paved way for young Nigerians to hustle no matter how hard it turns out to be. "Any which way na way".


Have you ever taken your time to study an African? you would notice that there is jealousy towards what others have. Jealousy is in the blood of a Nigerian, Few months back a friend of mine who traveled abroad for over 6-years finally returned and God blessing him, he was well to do but no sooner he came, jealousy aroused in the neighborhood.


An average black man is Lazy. All they do is waste their time on worthless things like flirting, Cultism and other acts. Wealth according to an African man is not by labor but favor, I do hear some pastors leading such prayer points. Turning Christianity into a business so some pastors do


Recently there are a few acts performed by Nigerians and other citizens from other African countries to make money. Lets give a review on it.


Illegal Traveling: This is the main thing that has suddenly appeared to be popular despite the hundreds of people dying everyday. A 15-years old boy who still haven't graduated from secondary school can still pack his bags and get ready to travel by land to European countries through Libya.


Over 500 Nigerians leave the country each day to head to a destination they have never been to, with no clue of what will happened on the way whether its death, sickness or even slavery. 


Internet Fraudulence: This again has taken good souls. Back then it was more of a secret activity which you never dare mention in public but in this recent money seeking generation, everybody now take part to the extent of Police men arresting every individual found with a laptop. Internet fraudulence was once an act of wisdom or internet know how but now its a demonic act due to individuals partaking in spiritual cleansing. Its a game of deceit. be wise!

Fake Ministries and Pastors: Nigeria is a total reality of the dooms day. why i said so!, in the Bible it was said that at the time of rapture fake prophets will be everywhere preaching and deceiving people. Everybody want fame. Women are the most victim of this due to them always wanting prayers and miracles everywhere. Just like i said Earlier, Christianity is now a source of wealth.


Most fake prophets sleep around with married and single women, mislead them through fake words and prophecies, steal their money indirectly and many other illegal things has so far attached a negative name on the church.


Stealing and Kidnapping: Few months back at about 3 am on a Friday a was in the setting room busy trying to write an article and others sleeping, A co-human broke my room window and stole my phone. Tried to steal others but i came before he could. That is a human like you and i. this believe of easy things has not only led in to stealing but kidnapping also.


A popular woman in my town was kidnapped by co-humans and up till now to trace of her, Its been over 5-years now. Just so you know Kidnapping is more of a business now. But i know one day they will all be vindicated.



What actually lead to all these? why do Nigerians suffer from co-Nigerians? who are the actual thieves? do you have to violate others just to be wealthy? lets take a review..



Top Reasons Why Nigerians Involve in Illegal Act to Make Money


Every action in life has a reason behind it. They can either be a personal problem or a general problem for all.

Top Illegal Activities Nigerians Involve in to Make Money With Reasons
African's Captured Traveling Illegally
Laziness; "Make haste while the Sun Shine" this some Nigerians don't know and don't even care to know. Laziness is not just an act of not being able to build a good future but an act to destroying a bright futures. Laziness is the reason why educated Nigerian youths find it hard to build up an entrepreneurship business and the teenagers refuse to attend schools.

While are parents not paying attention to their children's personal life. Most Nigerian parents should actually be blamed for this. "train up a child the way he should go". Up till now many parents don't know their children's well being. Exposing them to the harsh and wicked attitude of the world.


Negative Sense of Creativity; A Nigerian can invent harmful things without even thinking. Starting with the baby generation, though babies worldwide are destructive, Non is as destructive as a Nigerian child. This spirit grows with them and lead them into creating destructive materials


Creativity has led Nigerians into various dooms. I once set nail trap for a Mercedes car that was always driving pass my street. That is our spirit. Nobody wants his/her neighbor to become wealthy but they want the fame and all the good. A Nigerian pray louder when it comes to killing witches in church. But when it comes to good prayers of worship, praises and thanksgiving please don't call a  Nigerian.


Love of  Money; "The love of money is the beginning of Evil". Money is good and useful but love of it is bad." its kills" Many are dead, many are dying and many are awaiting death because of money and fame. If you are a Nigerian you should know that the main reason why people die recently is not because they were sick but mainly through the uncertain route of Libya.


The latest and most expensive cars are owned either by blacks or Africans. The ladies main edge is love for already made rich boys, Even if it requires prostitution they will do it.


Illiteracy & Ignorance; Illiteracy is a burning sword, drilling the life in humans and leaving them as empty vessels. Back then during the slave trade it was illiteracy up till now it's still illiteracy. Education to teenagers has become old fashion. Nobody wants to attend school. Uromi experienced a large number of young once leaving the country without a sound educational background.


I will also include ignorance because many family members have been lost to the bloody rivers of Libya but still Parents sponsor their teenage children to Libya all for money.


I won't fail to mention the most blamed cause for all the problems in the society. Government has played a huge role in ensuring Nigerian's obtain sound education and live well with a paying Job but actually its a revise. Politics has killed the Democracy of the country. An elder said on our way to Kogi."In Nigeria there is no average man, its either you are extremely rich or extremely poor"


Politicians keep on selling off  the opportunities for the dirt and rats in the streets. It's a one way affair, this is as a result of the wickedness of men and the deep rooted corruption in the country.



Ways to End this In Human Act my Humans.


We always feel like "i want" "i need" what about the person that doesn't have at all. Lets learn to do away with many of our bad habits. How do you expect the country and government to be good when you are busy stealing, cheating and killing co-humans.


Get rid of jealousy, Pride and Love of money. Every human should be jealous yes i know my dad once said something sensitive "When you are jealous don't be destructive rather appreciate what others have" you might not see this as a fact but it is. When you think about destroying others you forget to claim your's. Lets learn to help each out and forget about who is richer. Wealth is from within.


Abduct  love for education, ignore quick ways to do things. "Patience is the one great path to success". If ever you will be rich and famous you will so take things easy and in the right way. For everything you do in this world, have already been crafted by the Creator.


Death is the end of everything, your struggles, your labor, your everything. "He that looses his soul for the treasures of the world is vanity". So why the horry, spend is no test for success. Lets all avoid quick ways like internet fraudulence, Illegal trafficking and lots more. "Face life in it's front page"r.


Though the government can not do anything but "Leaders let the young ones grow" stop misusing the country's assets, stop stealing from the soul of each Nigerian. Get rid of corruption within yourself and that of the world will eradicate itself. "A thousand steps started with a step be that first step"


This is why i earlier said Nigerians are Interesting. One of the richest countries in resources, One of the strongest man power, Creative Intelligence but still no Peace, Love, Understanding and Patience.

Reasons Why You Should Shop Online Nigerian-E-commerce-Online stores-buy things online-laptops online, phones online

Shopping is one thing every Nigerian want to do every minute of the day, whether the resources are there or not we just want to shop. Buying is actually ideal for you because apart from having to brush your teeth, tub and likely consume your meals, its the top hobby that hold you refreshed and happy. I additionally located that most ladies tend to go for shopping whenever they are sad or concerned as it help overlook painful emotional feelings like heartbreak and many more.


Before now back in the 80s, buying and selling was referred to as a meeting of two in a place to make an agreement on a product but as time went on it became more hectic and emphasized. Markets are always jam-packed both supermarkets, shops and trading centers. This is bad and unsafe for various reasons which i will elaborate on a little for you understanding.


Markets are Unhealthy : Aside from the supermarkets, trading centers are always dirty due to the high number of people disposing refuses at a time. This is bad for your health as its easy to get contaminated with malaria and other deadly and common diseases.


Easy Transfer of Infection : In 2014/2015 Nigeria and other African countries suffered an outbreak of a deadly virus (Ebola) which could end a human's life within a week. And how was this virus transferred?, through body contact, making it easy for one victim to spread it to almost a hundred persons in the market.


Corrupted Price System: In a market system pricing is essential due to sellers making a way with customers money. They love cheating especially when you are new in the market. So this brings up corruption which has so far dis-valued trust and sincerity in the market system. Fake goods are also common in this buying and selling system.


I have just listed a few reasons why going to the market is unsafe and unhealthy but i haven't written about time cost. According to advanced studies, whenever you are making decisions, time, comfort, safety, interest should be put into consideration. Everybody should be employed yes but how do you now get what you want when you are always busy at work?.


This is why most persons take going to market for shopping as a hard activity especially in large and highly populated cities like Lagos where traffic and bad roads will destroy your car before you go back home. How do you as a celebrity, whose where about is always gossiped by bloggers? am sure you won't find comfort in that.


What should i now do to find this comfort in shopping what ever i need. How do i prevent myself from getting contaminated by the diseases and insects in the market? How can i as a celebrity hide my face from the hash sun, rain and not to think of the gossip bloggers?. Well its easy just read on.



How/Where to Find Comfort in Shopping


It is really not easy to cope with all these market wahala. That is why i find it important to let you know as a Nigerian that you can stay inside your room, bathroom, car, any where even your office maybe probably on your way to Abuja and shop. You can shop anywhere and get your products without any stress. Now lets check out things what Online shopping or Online store will do for us.



Reasons Why You Should Shop Online Nigerian-E-commerce-Online stores-buy things online-laptops online, phones online

Places where you can order for anything you want, phones, Laptops , Clothes and even furniture. Nigeria has lot of online shops that will deliver goods at your door step with just a call or clink at a product. It is safety ready because all the products  have years of warranty can be 1 - 5 years depending on the product.


Isn't that amazing. You may ask if it is comfortable and easy yes it is. Lets have a brief description of an online store.

E-commerce (additionally written as e-commerce, eCommerce or online store), short for electronic trade, is buying and selling of products or services through the use of laptop networks, together with the net. electronic trade attracts on technologies which includes cellular commerce, digital funds switch, supply chain control, net advertising and marketing, on-line transaction processing, Electronic statistics interchange (EDI), stock management structures, and automated data series structures. modern digital trade typically uses the world huge net for at the least one part of the transaction's life cycle, even though it can also use different technology including email.

Why you Should Shop Online (E-Commerce)


I already discussed with you above the main problems faced when buying things in the market and supermarkets and this is the exact reason why we are looking for an alternative. Before we can see E-commerce as an alternative, It's functions have to out-rule the problems faced in the local marketing system. Lets make a review to see if it really suit our needs.


Time Cost: If you studied economics then you should be used to this word. Just as it says "time waits for no man". The hours you spend in the market is more like waste of useful time. Whenever i followed my beautiful mother to the market, we would spend a lot of time pricing from here to there and at the end, we end up spending almost the whole day in the market preventing us from doing other planned important activities.


Now tell me how many minutes will you  spend buying things online. It won't take anything. You can cook, buy, sell and still watch a movie at the same time saving you useful time.


Corrupted Price System: Every seller wants to make more than his/her actual profit leading them into cheating buyers. Some sellers even end up loosing customers due to this but what about you in a horry to buy things, how will you then know the actual price of what you are buying.


With E-commerce being the modern deal for buying and selling you can get anything you want at a cheaper rate saving for you extra money for other relevant products.

Health and Infections: Have you ever heard of someone contacting any form of infection through the internet? if you have na witch b that. I earlier discussed how infections can be transferred easily in markets due to the jam-packed nature of the market and the dirt, refuse in the trading scene leading to various infections most common is malaria.


But in an online scenario everything is healthy for you. The only dirt and refuse problem you might face is adverts and every internet user should not see that as a treat. Nigeria has large and widely distributed online shops with lot of products at its disposal.


Goods are transported to your home in respective of your location in the country. Items are delivered on time leaving no trace of delay though the platform you choose matters a lot. Also in other African countries. Online shops are everywhere. Stay at home, play around, go on a date, spend the whole day at the office while someone is busy buying you the best items.


I have just discussed with you important things you should consider when wanting to shop. This is not discouraging marketing, marketing is good as you tend to choose your products according to how you want it but for your own comfort and time usage, Online shopping dives in to suit you.

If you have been keeping up with my posts on bloggers guide then you should understand the term "Blogging Platform' but if you didn't start with us then read my previous article on How to choose the best blogging platform. Just visit my Episode one (How to become successful in blogging) on bloggers guide to get a good knowledge on starting a successful blog.

All blogging platforms are basically free except you want more uniqueness in your domain e.g from www.ohenscrib.blogspot.com to www.ohenscrib.com.  Platforms vary in different quality especially when it comes to the look (template/ theme for pro bloggers) customization and other imitating characteristics. But they are quite similar when it comes to post writing dashboard.

Best Platforms to Run Your Amazing Blog

A normal approach towards this might appear a bit confusing but am sure if you have read other articles on bloggers guide you should find it easy to understand as you will be used to terms written here. I wont rate any platform above another, its just going to be a review and after reading this as a beginner this choice is entirely yours.

Now lets kick on with the review. Read well and carefully and at this moment assume everything thing about blogging was a lie to enable you make the right decision about the best blogging platform.

Blogger.com

Blogger is an amazing blogging platform for you as a beginner. It was developed by Pyra labs but now owned by web search engine "Google' as it was bought by them in 2003. Its a free and flexible platform with its sub-domain as blogspot.com

With blogger you can run up to 100 blogs per account and can also change your domain name from www.yourname.blogspot.com to www.yourname.com by just registering your default domain with a custom domain service like Hostgator. Despite all these amazing features, few bloggers led a complain on it not being reliable as it is owned by google which has been seen to shut down platforms without giving any information about it.

Aside the above problem blogger is awesome and can be used to power many types of blogs from fashion blogs, lifestyle blogs and also news or gossip blog. Linda Ikeji a popular News and Celebrity blog in Nigeria, Jide of Ogbonge blog (one of Nigeria's biggest tech blogs) and the Londoner a British lifestyle blog uses blogger to power their blog.

Blogger.com offers many more features like template customization, widgets or gadget and many more. If you are choosing blogger.com platform to power your blog then you probably read my article on blogger.


WordPress.com

WordPress is a popular platform which was established in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. quite the most popular and widely used of recent. Just as blogger wordpress.com is free of charge and easy to run. Most WordPress users claim that its the most simple and easy to understand platform for beginners. Well i still don't agree but lets leave that for you to decide.

But just like blogger, WordPress.com have a problem which Pro bloggers (Professional Bloggers) argue about. This time its not about its ability to shut down anytime (though its still very possible) rather its about its limitations. I don't know much about WordPress but in the past i wanted to start my platform with them but i had a lot of problem with its limitations.

When you run a free blog on WordPress.com with its sub-domain as www.yourname.wordpress.com, your customization is limited to a few available WordPress themes which can either be categorized as free or premium (for sale).

Aside that problem above WordPress.com is easy to use as you don't have to know anything about coding before you can manage it. Its all about WordPress plugins which can be easily installed with just a few clicks.

WordPress.Org

Best Blogging Platforms For Beginners | Bloggers Guide+free+blogger vs wordpress+popular blogging platform

At first i didn't want to share this blogging platform among this category but after thinking of it i decided to add it. all the list are free blogging platform but wordpress.org is quite the opposite. Following the name alone you should know its still owned by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little.

So why creating this after having an amazing platform. Well if you read the little problems in wordpress.com (limitations). Then this is the solution for it. Now lets make a review. Wordpress.org in Brief is the paid type of Wordpress.com. Meaning it is more of a website as the process for getting it requires registering or buying a domain with custom domain service like Bluehost.

And installing the WordPress.org in the server. Its not actually tedious but i think it needs some technical know how to gain full knowledge of it. NaijaStories a popular Nigeria story telling blog, BBC America news website, Sony Music and Beyonce owned by popular singer and song writer Beyonce Knowles uses WordPress to power their blog or website.

As i earlier said its a cure to Wordpress.com but that doesn't mean everything come with the domain name. Despite paying for a domain and server, Most themes and Plugins still requires payment as they were not all designed by WordPress but that doesn't mean you can not create you own theme.

I won't fail to mention Wordpress.org is very good in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as it allows you install lots of plugins that should boost your SEO. Plugins like All in One SEO pack and many others which you will soon discover.

Tumblr is another great service which was created by David Karp at a time blogger and WordPress were head to head. But its more of a micro-blogging and social networking platform. It was founded in February 2007 and is now quite know with Yahoo its owner. 

Well it quite got its popularity from its uniqueness from blogger and WordPress which is its multimedia support and short form blogging style. It being owned by Yahoo has a bit made it more of an advertising site. I once opened a blog there which i never really made use of as i  already opened this one Ohens Crib.

Now just like blogger and WordPress lots of bloggers also use Tumblr to power their site. I ran into one today lagosphotos.tumblr.com and also top sites like ghostphotographs.tumblr.com, willitbeard.tumblr.com  uses tumblr.com to power there sites. Among all of the sites i have come across, they are mainly art and socialism blogs, i think that's what tumblr favors more. Though i didn't mention earlier, tumblr is free and has a sub-domain as .tumblr.com.

Joomla which was founded on August 17th 2005 till today is known as one of the best free platforms due to its inability to shut down unexpectedly. It is quite dependable or as you would say reliable. Joomla is an advanced CMS (Content Management System) used by mainly developers in publishing some of the websites which could also be blogs we see on the web.

Now Joomla which uses extensions in its designs and functionality is to me friendly as it has a lot of its software used for free by its users unlike WordPress that sells it plugins. Many bloggers and website owners use Joomla for a lot of things which i will emphasize on in my article on Joomla.

I have just listed and explained some of the best blogging platforms for beginners and if you still haven't found the platform of your choice, then you should read comments on the comment box below but Bloggers who have other details about free blogging platforms.

As a pro blogger reading this am sure you know placing comments helps in promoting your blog so do use the comment box and share other platforms for beginners to read. Sharing is Caring Friends.
