  • Good overview! I use self-hosted WordPress personally as it is very flexible and allows me to do whatever I want. Basically I Have full control and ownership unlike the hosted platforms.

  • Awesome article Dude. Actually the Free Blogger platform is not a match to the self hosted wordpress blogging platform.

    But for newbies, it is highly recommended for them to go for the free Blogger platform, as it is easy to adapt to.

    Thanks for the article.
