As a newbie blogger, the most confusing state is to decide which Blogging platform to choose. Though, most suggested platforms are , WordPress, Tumblr. Now, when we talk about creating a blog from professional front, WordPress is a rock-solid choice. There are many things which you can do with a Self hosted WordPress blog, which you can’t do on a blog.

and WordPress both offers free blogging platform which is a good way to start your blogging career, though certainly not the best. If you have been blogging on any of these free blogging platform, read this article to know what are the limitations of using free blogging platform over self hosted WordPress blog.



To make it clear I started my blogging career from and then I moved to Self hosted WordPress blog. As I mentioned above is a good blogging platform to start your blogging career, but for long run self hosted blog is what you should select. Though in this post I will highlight why self hosted WordPress blog is better than free blog and also from free blogs.

If you are familiar with wordpress dashboard and looking forward to move to wordpress, you should have a look at my previous post on Step by step guide to install self hosted wordpress blog.

WordPress vs. : Why to select WordPress

As I mentioned above, I started my journey to Blogging with and later I moved to WordPress. So, I’m aware of benefits of downside of and here I’m not going to talk any benefits, as WordPress offer all those feature which offers.

Control over your blog :

This is one of the major reason why I support self hosted blog. is owned by Google and there are chances that they can delete your account without giving you any warning. Even if you use custom domain feature (Using your own domain name ), chances are high that if spammers use feature Flag as spam and report your blog as spam. Google might remove your blog. This is something very common and by doing a quick search on Google, you will realize many bloggers faced this problem while using .

Winner : Self hosted blog

Search engine optimization :

Doesn’t matter where your blog is hosted , traffic is the first and last thing any blogger will look for. Search engine optimization in simple words means Optimizing your blog for search engines and getting traffic from search engine”. Comparing WordPress and , WordPress offers more options to optimize your blog for search engine where as in you are limited to certain settings.

Here are few posts which will help you to optimize your wordpress blog for search engine optimization

Recommended WordPress SEO Plugins
Plugins and support :

WordPress is blessed with features like plugin and a strong community to get support. When I was on I spent lots of time editing my theme to show related posts and adding such features. WordPress makes your life easy using simple plugins for everything you need. By using plugins, you can achieve anything and if not, you can take help of WordPress support forum to get custom code and extend the capabilities of your blog.

Here is a list of 30 recommended WordPress plugins.

Reputation :

This can be consider as human tendency or perception, that most of the people doesn’t see with great eye. One of the simple reason is it’s free and mass number of people are using it for Black hat SEO, spamming and for affiliate landing pages. When talking about self hosted blog, people thing that the person has paid for the service and he is serious about his blog.

Theme and templates :

offers many templates but due to commercial nature of WordPress, you will find unlimited free and Premium WordPress themes. More over since you have FTP access, you can alter the complete look and feel of your WordPress theme.
you've done a good job. don't you think you should give credit to harsh, the author of this article?

Here is mine
www.iamdorodiva..com

Looks okay on mobile view...

But a no no to me on the desktop..

Apart from the background being white and almost bland {simple}..

You kinda messed it up with your blog archive cos it took up the space on the right side... {especially feb post}...


And the loading time was too much on desktop


Change the blog archive layout.. to drop flat

Put a gadget of popular post instead and not more than 5...

love-vendor the settings more...

U can make. It more personal and your own cos everything looks like it's default blogger settings especially on desktop mode...

All. In all


Not a bad start... But more work to. Be done wink

Nice medical journal....

Looks good on mobile...

But the desktop takes too much time in loading...

Couldn't find the blog archive list in an easy accessible place..

Though I love the fact that the popular post are minimal. And not too much...

Using "Related post or linkwithin" could have helped to join the blog together more...

All in all... Not bad

hi, i want a review on www.pelwal33..com

One of the most beautiful blog have seen so far on this thread....

Desktop view looks amazing while the mobile view is just okay...

I have my reservation on the Layout Gadget though..

Cos your trending post took up almost an entire part of the left screen and even the right side has something similar..

It would have been better if you have a BLOG ARCHIVE for your post instead.. And the post in the archive being on drop flat...

It's a news blog with lots of post BUT..

Little to no original material from you cos all other blogs carry same news at the same time..

Whatever the case.... It's a fine site..

Unfortunately ain't different or standout from punchng or other news blog to me..

Personal opinion wink

But looks great
