Blogging Platforms
WordPress
WordPress, which is a software downloadable at WordPress.org, is an open source CMS made primarily to make your blogging life better. Over time, WP has evolved to become a fully fledged web development suit. Gaurav Tiwari is built upon the power WordPress and I am really proud of the fact that I use and contribute to WordPress ecosystem. I wouldn’t recommend any other CMS than WordPress, if you are looking to go online.
WordPress.com
WordPress is a software that can be installed on a server. WordPress.com is a managed WordPress hosting that offers pre-installed WordPress so that it is easy to use. You can start free or upgrade to Personal, Premium, Business and eCommerce plans to do more.

Blogger or Blogspot is a free blogging platform from Google. You can pretty much do the blogging part on blogger.com but design is a tedious task.
Tumblr
Tumblr.com is a free blogging tool now owned by Automattic Inc. (the brand behind WordPress.com). Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. Whether it’s fandom or philosophy, fashion or felines.
