Content Management System (CMS) is an application software that provides you an easy environment to manage your digital content data such as text, images, music, documents etc.

Features of WordPress

• The most important features of WordPress are that you can create a dynamic website without any programming and design knowledge.
• WordPress is theme based which provides you options for various open source and premium design themes, which can be integrated easily without any designing knowledge.
• Plugins extend the functionality of WordPress, which can be used to add new required modules.
• WordPress sites are search engine optimization (SEO) friendly, it means sites built in WordPress can be easily optimized for search engine listings.

This debate can get pretty confusing at times.  Many users like BlogSport because there are less technical hassles,and many users love WordPress because of its increased power and features. When someone asks me which platform they should start with, here is my usual answer:

WordPress or BlogSpot: Which platform to choose?

The Blogger platform (aka BlogSpot) is very useful when you just want to start a blog to share your thoughts. When you are not blogging for money, or you need a simple platform which doesn’t require any technical know-how, BlogSpot is really good.

While there are many limitations of BlogSpot in terms of functionalities and SEO benefit, if you just need a platform to start a blog with at almost 0 cost, BlogSpot is the right pick.

At the same time, if you are blogging for money, building authority, or for branding yourself, BlogSpot is not the ideal choice. This is because you have limited control over visibility in search engines, and after a while, you become very limited when you want to add new features.
