Wordpress would get my vote, but I have on the other hand never used any other types of blogs, but still it seems easier to install and use than others that I have read of.

I've used Blogger, Movable Type and now WordPress. Hands down, WordPress gets my vote!

I would have to agree with Thomas and Bruce, WordPress is one of the best and that also gets my vote.

I've used several in the past but I would have to say WordPress. Hands down. I currently use WP for 2 personal blogs plus I recently converted my entire family website to WP.

I use Movable Type and prefer it for a number of reasons, but I recommend WordPress to others just starting out.

I am about to learn WordPress and have a new site I'll build in WordPress; I've downloaded 3.0.1. I don't know much about it - just bought the book, Head First Word Press, and rather than using the hosting company they suggest I would like to use TCH where I've always been happy (with several small sites.) Or, while I am learning and rather than getting a new address/site can I run it out of my existing site that I am in process of changing?) Is there any place particular in the forums that is devoted to WordPress?

 

Thanks very much! (I see this is not a very active forum!)

We have a WordPress forum.

 

And you can install WordPress using Fantastico in your cPanel. No need to download it to install it.

Thank you! I'll visit the WP forum. I have downloaded WP but haven't installed it so I'll explore the cPanel option. I am taking a review web class at the local Santa Barbara community college --- and on the class forum someone asked about hosting; I recommended TCH, emphasizing the help and the forums. It's been a while since I've asked a question, but it's wonderful that the helping tradition continues.
