If this is your first blog, two recommended platforms are Blogger.comLinks to an external site. and Wordpress.comLinks to an external site..Blogger.com is easy, user-friendly, and owned by Google, so if you already have a Google account, Blogger will be an easy site to sign up. It also has some advantages for businesses because Google combs your sites and make them easier for people to find using Google.WordPress.com is a little harder to use simply because it has a lot more options, yet this is precisely why it is used by many online businesses.
