I’ve gotten quite a few questions from people I know and will get to know about blogging. Why blog, what can I do and so on. When convinced that they actually should blog, then comes the how’s.
I always recommend Wordpress, an open source blogging software that kicks ass, but to some people even this nifty little thing can be a hassle to install.
So I point them to Wordpress.com, Automattics’ hosted Wordpress solution that also kicks ass. And I get a suspicious reply, ending up with listing the features for the service to convince them I actually know what I’m talking about. Which I do.
No more. Thank you, Wordpress.com.
