Top Blogging Software Rated by Experts

When you ask bloggers which blogging software tops it all – WordPress still rings the gong. Even when you go to Google and search for the keywords – top, blog, and software, the first link to appear is WordPress. To date, we will still see the number of Wordpress users increase, despite the introduction of other content management systems (CMS).

The best feature of WordPress and notably new to blogosphere is its filtering ability. In other blogging software, a reader can post any comment or message on the blog even when the owner is offline. This is a bit frustrating especially when you don’t want others to see undesirable comments. With WordPress, you will get notifications that a comment submitted by a reader is seeking your approval before it gets posted. Moderation eliminates unwanted posts that might give wrong impressions to other blog visitors.

Another important aspect that we observe from Wordpress is its user-friendly mode. It also has a range of functionalities where you can add, install and delete some plug-ins. With WordPress, you basically don’t need a web page developer to do the job because the software itself is very easy to use. It has a logical environment and structure that even an amateur blogger can design a layout of a page. It has even the ability to edit the CSS into a more personalized template with just a minimal fee – if you have sufficient knowledge in this area.

Perhaps, the edge that WordPress has bannered over other blogging software is the setting that allows you to ping – meaning, alert or notify – all blog feed directories every time you complete a posting. This feature tends to attract more readers and drives more traffic to your blog in no time. You may even have a lot of pages in your site that you can link in a single category, and those pages are most likely to appear in a higher result in search engines.

It is, indeed, remarkable to have all these blogging software features incorporated in software like WordPress. Neat, organized and revolutionized. It has everything that a blogger needs.

Blog RSS 101

To get a clear view of what a Blog RSS is, let me give a short overview of what is an RSS. The abbreviation of Rich Site Summary or sometimes Really Simple Syndication, RSS is basically a format in conveying a change in web content. It is very helpful for people who frequently use the web by keeping them informed of the latest content of their favorite sites. It is very efficient since it retrieves the information automatically, and eliminates the trouble of visiting sites the same way you did the first time.

Today, most bloggers have turned to RSS to maximize the relay of blogs to their readers. Let me elaborate on how a Blog RSS works. Suppose you want to syndicate your blog to websites. Normally you need to do all the trouble in distributing your whole posts by going to the sites one by one. In Blog RSS, you don’t have to go through each and every site to input the content the same way all over again. The sites that have your syndication code will automatically receive the information that you input once and the feed will do the rest of the job simultaneously. What’s more? As you update your blogs, it gets updated on the sites as well.

One good thing that bloggers love about Blog RSS is that feeds don’t get deleted by anybody and only you can do the deletion. So, you actually have total control over your posts. By providing the link to your feeds, you have already relayed the information to your readers. Just post the code on your website and that is it. You don’t even need to send out emails. Through Blog RSS, you have eliminated the hassle of spamming when you want to add a new content to your blog or update an existing blog. Even your web developer doesn’t need to do a thing.

Blog RSS is practically a good thing in the blogosphere. The bloggers, readers and the websites, even search engines are happy about this. It’s now being used in almost all medium of relaying information in websites. So, it’s time to crash out that campaign over e-newsletters or spamming. Switch to RSS feeds and make your blogs stay in the internet forever.
