Blogger or Wordpress?

First no matter what site you use for a blog first think about why you are posting. Are you trying to draw people to your website, sell something, or just inform? After knowing what the focus of your blog is now you need to find the best host. There are several blog hosts, but Blogger and Wordpress are the two largest.
  • I have found that Wordpress has more custom features and can look and feel more like a webpage.
  • Blogger seems to be more user friendly however. Blogger takes less time to start up.
  • Blogger does have more restrictions.
  • Wordpress has more templates.
No matter what blog site you use find your voice and find the best template for your purpose. I have used Blogger because has a faster set up process, and I am not a designer so I do not have the capabilities for extreme customization.

Linking Up

My Venture Pad, a new and exciting venture for Entrepreneurs. What I like about the site is that is is an open forum. Anyone can post once they have created a post. I support anything that is open, and this does a good job of highlighting new posts and some of the best posts. There are some notable authors. It is a site to be added to any blog roll for tips and hits for getting a business started and growing.

Young Entreprenuer

As an Entrepreneur I am always looking for resources (especially free ones)! I have started too look around online for blogs and links for Entrepreneur help. I have found Young Entrepreneur, a resourceful and helpful tool for every Entrepreneur. I like the youthful spirit of the posts, and the new topics. They break free from the typical postings and provide direct and helpful information for any Entrepreneur. Mixing Interviews with posts helps to mix motivation and help for anyone starting out. It even provides information for mature businesses. This Post is one of my favorites. I think so many times people have a global view when they put their business on the Internet, and many times their key clients can be in their neighborhood. I think this post really gives a good snapshot of the concept of Young Entrepreneur and its mission. Finding your niche as a business owner is the key to success. Finding that niche in your area starts to build momentum and can be the building blocks for success. Young Entrepreneur is a clean and simple tool for business owners or budding entrepreneurs to use to get connected in a community and learn new tools. I have not even delved into their forums, but those seem like a great way to connect with Entrepreneurs and start ups. It is something I check everyday and recommend you add to your list of daily blogs.
