You have identified the topic of your blog:
now you only need content management system. As Nik Rawlinson explained, there
were several optional evaluations except for Wordpress.
Introduction
Ask anyone to recommend an easy content
management system and every 9 out of 10 times they would say it was WordPress.
There are some acceptable reasons for that – it’s free, well-supported, very
easy to use and install, and if you don’t like any theme of the third party,
you can design it yourself. However, it doesn’t mean that WordPress is the best
choice for all situations.
Initially WordPress was developed as a blog
engine. However, although it has developed so much that many professional
websites currently use it as a complete news management system, there are other
options which are more suitable to operate website regularly updated.
Now we consider four competitors in the
crown of WordPress. Each opponent is all champion in its field. They promise a smoother
path for those special type of websites, and like WordPress, they are free.
Tumblr
Tumblr
simplifies building blog by helping you to easily post content which have
appropriate attribute from other sources
Tumblr is a strange phenomenon. By the time
we made this post, it was less than 5 years old but already host 34 million
blogs contain 12 billion posts; 43 million articles were posted on the day we
wrote. The group which created it is about to build “the perfect platform for
seft-expression”. Obviously, they succeeded.
Normal Tumblr users post original content
14 times per month with about haft the text based on text and another haft full
of pictures. They also reblog 3 posts from other Tumblr blogs and this is its
genius point. By placing a reblog button on every post, Tumblr turns copying
the content of other users to our blogs into a one-click activity for any
users. To do the same thing in Wordpress, you will have to copy and paste the
code into your editing window, set tag, categories and add a link to provide
confidence in the source and preview post in the browser.
Tumblr is a great way for business users to
quickly build a blog with the third-party content which colleagues and
customers will want to track; you will look like an expert in your filed and be
the leading specialized manager. If you have your own domain, you can give the
blog a professional look by changing its IP to Tumblr server and enable the
option to choose the domain name in your blog settings.
Since it is a closed platform hosted on
Tumblr server, developers can predict the method to post content and where it
should be sent. Smartphone applications of Tumblr (go http://bit.ly/qlYpVC for
iPhone version and http://bit.ly/vfRmwm for Android) enable you to directly
post text, images, quotes, audio, videos created on a device to Tumblr blog
without typing any code and link manually, or update them in a separate
activity.
Tumblr takes away the burden of maintaining
the blog and making it interesting. The more you are happy to use it, the more
you post frequently, and it the fastest way to create readers.
Relevance:
web content and short, frequent posts.
