Of all forms of marketing available these days, from radio jingles, to commercials on the television, the world is increasingly switching to blogging to publicize information about self or their company. Blogging has gained popularity with individuals and businesses for being an easy platform to provide information over the internet. One reason why blogging software have become popular is because of its ease of use for new users. Most of blog software are easy to customize, run on all platforms as long as minimum requirement of scripting language and database is available & supported; and are fairly easy to install with few clicks!

After trying few other blog software, I have finally settled with WordPress now and what makes it my favourite software for blogging is that is is easiest to use. WP development team has kept pace with changes in technology, recent being introduction of sitemaps and now the latest change: WordPress 2.6 has been launched today with a host of new options that are certainly going to make your life easy. You may now post and edit your blogs even when you are offline.

What makes WordPress better than the rest? WordPress offers a WYSIWYG editor and AJAX-powered controls. UI if fairly attractive and easy to use, so you can update and manage your posts with user friendly and intuitive interface. Templates to change look and feel allow you to customize your blog and skin it the way you want, while third party plugins give you freedom to add, edit and modify new features on your blog.
