There are some things you should be aware of when choosing a blogging platform:
- Themes – you may like the theme you are using and use it for years or maybe a decade, but most people are going to want to change themes from time to time. It’s like redecorating your house. So beware of a blog host that does not provide themes and changing them. Eventually you will want to change themes and you’ll regret that you can’t.
- Comments – I think comments are important to blogging. You may not. But the blogging platform should have and easy option to turn comments on or off and some sort of spam control. A contact form or email comment is not the same as a public discussion.
Features matter in blogs. Blog platforms used to give you a list of features but they seem to have abandoned that. But the devil is in the details.
