Read this guide before choosing"},"content":{"rendered":"\nYou need a <\/span>simple little site<\/span><\/i>, a small space to talk about yourself and (why not?) your business. On the internet, the adventure for many <\/span>bloggers<\/span><\/i> starts like this: you feel the need for an online space, and you eventually end up turning it into a job.<\/span>\n\nIt still happens today, in an era where <\/span>original content<\/b> is gradually being “devoured” by artificial content\u2014the kind produced by AI, to be clear. Well\u2014even today\u2014having a digital space is not only useful, but it also helps you grow your audience.<\/span>\n\nThat said, one doubt remains. Namely: which platform is best for opening a site? There are dozens online (WordPress, Blogger, Medium, Wix, etc.) and they all promise to be “the right choice.” <\/span>\n\nIn <\/span>this article<\/b>, we will talk about the two <\/span>most famous<\/span><\/i> ones, as well as the longest-running on the web. We will explain what to expect, how they work, and how to get the best out of both. So that you can finally find an answer to the fateful question: <\/span>WordPress or Blogger?<\/span><\/i>\n

Before we begin, an overview<\/span><\/h2>\nBefore choosing between <\/span>WordPress and Blogger<\/span><\/i>, it’s worth understanding <\/span>what kind of platforms<\/b> they are.<\/span>\n\nBecause both were born with the same goal (to allow anyone to publish content online) but follow very different logics that must be considered. One is more free, customizable, and professional; the other is simpler and more immediate, designed for those who just want to write and share. <\/span>\n\nLet’s take a closer look at them, and meanwhile think about the type of website<\/a> you have in mind: our guide will ultimately lead you to the most suitable choice.\n

What is WordPress, and how does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\nWordPress <\/b>is the undisputed king of CMS (short for <\/span>Content Management System<\/span><\/i>). Born in 2003, it is now the platform that powers over 40% of websites worldwide\u2014a figure that speaks for itself regarding the platform’s potential.<\/span>\n\nKeep in mind, however, that there are <\/span>two versions of WordPress<\/b>. There is a first version that we could define as “turnkey”: it is <\/span>WordPress.com<\/span><\/a>, where you just need to register, choose a plan (even a free one), and your site is online in minutes. Then there is another one, which is open source: we are talking about <\/span>WordPress.org<\/span><\/a>, with which you can build a truly your own site by choosing hosting, domain, plugins, and so on. Of course, in the latter case, a good level of technical competence is required; but the flexibility it grants is maximum.<\/span>\n\nTo recap, there is:<\/span>\n
