I have been undecided about what platform to host my blog on for a while, it is important that I choose the one that best suits my intentions so that it can portray what I require it to and I can manipulate it to look how I want. These are the 3 platforms I have considered and these are my thoughts about using them for my blog -
Tumblr: The first site I tried my blog on was Tumblr, although it has a reputation for being simple and easy to use as someone who hasn't used it before I didn't think it was that simple. In my opinion I found I couldn't manipulate as much as I wanted without taking a risk and buying a theme. In the end I decided not to use Tumblr as personally I found it too confusing and not quite fitting for my blog.
Wordpress: After looking into Wordpress and what people thought of it it seemed that although it is good for custom deign and layout it charged quite highly for redirecting to a domain name, which the 2 other platforms do not. Overall it seemed that I would be able to achieve the same things layout etc wise as the other sites so the cost was enough to rule out Wordpress for my blog.
Blogger/Blogspot: Although I am the most familiar with Blogger I didn't think it had what I required to create my blog, however after trying Tumblr and talking to others about which platform to use it turned out there was a lot I didn't know about Blogger and that actually it could really work for this. So I have chosen (unless I find better in the meantime) to use Blogger for my Beauty Classics blog.
I have now set about considering and looking into/learning what I need to to create my blog on Blogger.
