Задумляецеся аб змене платформы блогаў

I started off my "blogging career" using Microsoft’s platform and it’s been good to me. It’s easy to post, there are good options and widgets for managing your "space", годнай захоўвання вэб і г.д..

Аднак, I really just fell into the MS solution with almost no planning. That alone calls for me to evaluate where I am and where I’m going, in terms of a blogging platform. There are also two important limitations that bother me right now vis-à-vis Windows Live Spaces.

Першы, I can’t get very good statistics. There are stats but the detail is often truncated and not presented in a way that allows for any kind of analysis. There no sorting or export capability. I get many blog ideas based on the kind of information people find (або асабліва не знайсці) when they search my blog. It’s very hard to use lives spaces for that.

Другі, there does not seem to be any mechanism to "monetize" a windows live space blog. На самай справе, для таго, каб пазбавіцца ад аб'яваў MS (, Ад якога я не дае ніякіх выгод), I need to actually pay Microsoft. (Па крайняй меры, вось як я разумею; Я быў не ў стане атрымаць канчатковыя адказы на гэтае і пытанні, падобныя да гэтага).

Цяпер, калі я атрымаў па ўстаноўленым узоры, і набор звычак блогаў, I want to evaluate other options. I’ve done some research and there are a lot of choices, але мне цікава, што іншыя людзі, Асабліва іншымі членамі супольнасці SharePoint (як блогеры або чытачоў), like to use.

Калі гэтая тэма вас цікавіць, і ў Вас ёсць меркаванне або гатовыя падзяліцца сваім вопытам, калі ласка, пакіньце каментар або напішыце мне наўпрост.

Дзякуй!

    Пол,
    I’ve been using Blogger for the past several years and I have found it to be a very good platform for someone who doesn’t want to spend the time creating and configuring all of the details of a blog. It also seems to be fairly flexible allowing you to set up and use either Google’s AdSense or any other item that can be plugged using Javascript/HTML.
    I also registered with Google Analytics. This gives me a very good array of display options for my website metrics, even the ability to perform simple comparisons to trends from a previous period.

    I’m with wordpress.com. http://sharemypoint.wordpress.com. It’s free and AD free (even your own Google adsense). WordPress is a very popular open source blog platform based on PHP. There are many cool custom plugins available for this system but the free hosting with WordPress.com is limited. You can consider buying a hosting plan and install those plug-ins (mostly free). I was choosing between blogger.com and wordpress.com. I have a comparison study here http://calvin998.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/compare-blogger-and-wordpress-hosting/

    Someone mentioned SharePointblog.com but you have to email the site admin to create your blog. Not very convenient.

    Live spaces requires login to leave comments. It certainly greatly eliminates spams but also limits the interaction with your readers.

    Пол – I’m using WordPress to run EndUserSharePoint.com. As a previous commenter said, easy to use, lots of customization for skins, tons of plugins. I’m currently using a plugin for spam (Akismet), one for allowing subscriptions to comments and a couple other’s I can’t think of off the top of my head. If you want to stand out from the other SharePoint "Geeks", you can use one of Brian Gardners Revolution templates to put a magazine interface on your blog. Really good stuff.

    I’m really happy with my experiences at SharePointBlogs.com, but I don’t know if it would meet your needs. Since its provided as a free service, the amount of control you have over the blog itself is pretty limited. To my knowledge, Вы не можаце Раскін яго ад сервера UI Супольнасць складзе, and I’d be surprised if you can run your own ads on it. Don’t get me wrong, Мне падабаецца інтэрфейс і вельмі цаню гэта забяспечвае платформу для мяне, каб свой уклад у супольнасць, але гэта не гучыць як добра падыходзіць для вас.

    Калі б гэта было мне, і цалкам бясплатна была адным з крытэраў, I think I’d go with WordPress. Just a great UI for authoring, тон надбудоў і скіны даступныя для выкарыстання, and very customizable if you want to roll your own code. If you have a server to run it on, яго папруга, каб усталяваць, ці вы можаце стварыць блог бясплатна праз іх сайт.

    I"ve actually activated an account at Livingdot.com to use Moveable Type. I’ve started and stopped blogging a couple of times – і выкарыстаў некалькі платформаў, уключаючы WordPress, Joomla, Drupal etc. I started looking at Moveable Type because it recently (у апошнім 3 дзён) went fully open source. After considering installing it myself (на хасце ў мяне ёсць рахунак у жыцці) I looked around at MT hosts and found Livingdot. Very reasonably priced, and they have been very responsive. They are running a 25% зніжку за жыццё вашага рахунку на святы – so you can open a blogging basic account for about $6 a month. I went with the next step – so I can host other domain names and am paying $8.21/mo. Maybe worth a look.
