5 Ways to Get Blog Post Ideas
When are starting with a blog for your business, there are some important considerations for the beginning. Choosing which blogging platform to use is one of the most important decisions that you can make as a blogger. The right platform can make blogging a breeze, and the wrong platform can make blogging a chore. Because the program that you use to blog with is such a powerful part of your blogging experience, it is well worth putting in the time to find a platform that provides the ideal balance between a user-friendly interface and a flexible framework to make your blog look and feel unique.
Finding the best blogging platform isn’t always easy, but with a little bit of contemplation and research, you will be on your way to finding the best blogging platform.
Deciding what your priorities are in terms of ease of use versus customization. Most highly customizable blogging platforms, like moveable type, are a bit more difficult to use than very automated platforms like WordPress. If you are new to blogs and to internet technology, you might want to sacrifice the ability to create a custom background design or to integrate a unique font into your template in order to find a program that will be easy for you to use. On the other hand, if you are a veteran web designer with knowledge of HTML or javascript, you will probably find the limitations of a user-friendly platform to be frustrating.
Blogging is very much about individuality, so it makes plenty of sense that there would be many different platforms available that are designed to meet the needs of different kinds of individuals undertaking different kinds of projects.
Some of the most popular blog platforms that are all freely distributed, that are easy to download, to install and use are:
- WordPress – great looking and well structured, with many free themes available
- TypePad – back-end technical issues are taken care of, easy to learn and support
- TextPattern – free, elegant, easy to use
- Nucleus – web-based blog developed with PHP and using MySQL database
For my business blog, I prefer to use WordPress. The reason for that is: 
- it offers the richest set of features
- many free plug-ins that enhances the functionality like image galleries, statistics, anti-spam, search, archiving and tools for comments
- a large supporting community
- it is easy to integrate with other social media tools.
