Rock Lee Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Starting a blog. Wordpress (dot org) has incredible themes whileBlogger is more user friendly. If you had a choice which one would you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilJaden Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 If you think hosting it you might also consider Joomla. I think it's on the same level as Wordpress if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeetPirate Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If you think hosting it you might also consider Joomla. I think it's on the same level as Wordpress if not better.I agree, I think Joomla is way better than Wordpress any day, any time! Of course the greatness of Joomla lies with the plugins you choose to use for your blogging, my advice is to get one that supports Disqus.com and/or IntenseDebate.com as many bloggers prefer services like those. Plus rockettheme makes some really great themes for Joomla such as refraction which supports the SuperBlogger plugin out of the box. Even the free themes for Joomla beat the non-free Wordpress themes a million times over.Anyway since I am 3 months late on this topic reply you should by now have this blog up and running so let's see how it looks. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeetPirate Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Actually, the plan died ; I was going to do a certain thing with that blog, decided against it after a small talk with someone. I forgot I even had this thread open :cheers:Nah man don't give up so easily. What obstacles are in the way? You will feel really good about it once you get it up and running for sure.

You will feel really good about it once you get it up and running for sure. Were you going to make a Naruto blog? lol.Don't worry, I didn't give up. Its just that I felt differently back when I started this thread. I didn't know that I'd be this active here, the blog was going to do something to replace that.I've made a couple of blogs for others, its not hard. I like the work I do, its just that this site is more important to me for the time being. Who knows how I'll feel a few months from now...lol No, its far too many of those for me to duplicate. Its a nice idea, just not something that I'd put time into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
