Comparison of Different Blogging Platforms

My company actually uses Wordpress to help run parts of our site, as well as to maintain our company blog.  One benefit to using Wordpress is it has multiple uses for its platform (though not all of it is free) and many take programming or html skills. I learned to use Wordpress last year and remember having a harder time picking it up then I did with Blogger and Tumblr. 

Though I am familiar with Wordpress I decided to create this assignments blog using Blogger.  Compared to Wordpress I feel like Blogger is more clear-cut and user friendly, as well as free. I know that Google seems to be taking over the world, but I love when everything coordinates and works together.  Google is also really great at keeping things simple and not over doing it, though that could also create some complaints. 

Tumblr was the last platform I looked at. Overall it was simple and user friendly. I liked the tabs to use text, add photo, quote, link etc.  Though all the platforms have these abilities, I felt that Tumblr’s stick out more and were easier to find and use. This sight is full of color and graphic design.  

All these platforms have the necessary tools of adding text, pictures, video, links, etc. to create a good blog. When it comes down to which one is best I would say preference and convenience would most likely play the largest role.
