Make blogs with Wordpress.com
I told you how to make a blog on Blogger.com which was infact the first one to offer such a service that had changed the life of many internet users. However, after this great idea from Google many new websites came up offering the service of blogging to the internet users. Most significant development in the field of blogging was that of the coming up of Wordpress.com. Wordpress.com gave tough competition to Blogger.com from the first day it was lauched. The reason for this was a small difference in the site extension used be them. Blogger.com is basically based on HTML and therefore only HTML tags can be used and hence creation of user defined dynamic pages in Blogger.com was almost impossible. But in Wordpress.com the blog pages were written in PHP format rather than in HTML which allowed the users not only create their own dynamic page through the use of server side language, PHP in addition to the HTML tags. This difference in wordpress and blogger lead to a large number of Wordpress utilities to be built up which can be installed in a Wordpress blog as plugins. Plugins are nothing but a short addition to the default template provided by Wordpress which adds a widgets or functionality to the blog. Such as calendar widget was created for Wordpress which can be used for displaying a calendar in your blog. There were many other features that wordpress provided such as addition of pages to the blog in addition to the regular pages so that you can make special pages such as contact page, about page and many others. It also had the facility of Blogroll which helped users to create links to other blogs without any need for knowing php or HTML. Besides these, Wordpress came up with a great number of coll and good looking templates which blogger failed. Despite of these features of Wordpress, Blogger still remains the king in the blogging but it is facing tough competition with Wordpress.
