Wordpress

Wordpress is the platform that I use to build and manage my personal blog. Ever since I switched from Wordpress.com to self-hosted, I have not looked back. Definitely take the self-hosted route if you want to monetize your blog properly and own all your content. If you post a heavy volume of content on your website or have an ecommerce business, Wordpress—as opposed to Squarespace—might be the better option for you.
