I recently started up a new blog (http://nextended.com http://nextended.com for Sony NEX users) and searched around the available platforms. I've used blogger in the past but it's pretty clunky these days. I still use self-hosted Wordpress for my personal blog but I've always been annoyed by the post editor, less-than-simple customization and frequent security breaches.
In short, I now pay SquareSpace $12/mo to look after hosting, a very attractive and useful CMS, some good looking templates, point-and-click CSS customisations, drag-and-drop layout, and built-in analytics.
You could do the same with Wordpress (and, in fairness, customise it more) but SquareSpace wins if you value your time.
- alttab 16y agoI used a custom PHP framework for client sites and Wordpress a lot. However, due to my time restraints and their money restraints, a lot of clients have been migrating to Squarespace. This is good because I can still consult and train them, while getting more bang for everyone's buck. I don't want to manage entire websites on a client-basis anymore. Its one step from MSP IT (not like its a bad thing, I just like code).
