Starting a brand new blog today - Is it still Wordpress?
-
Hi
I started a blog in 2006 on Blogspot, then everyone moved onto Tumblr and Wordpress, but in August (just) 2013, what should I be starting my brand new blog on? I dont want to have to migrate in a matter on months.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the answers. Will stick to Wordpress then!

I would say wordpress because you can self host (either on domain or sub-domain) both helping your domain authority, Blogger as far as I know is a Google hosted off your domain only option.

Hi
Def recommend wordpress.
It seems as the industry standard, and taking into consideration made by Martijn, it appears that developers are consistently developing new add-ons and improvements.
Good Luck

Hiya,
A lot of people use Wordpress but my advice is to stay with the system you know if you know the ins and outs of. if your content is good it wont matter where you are people come for the content.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Cool question, I would still stay with WordPress nowadays as it's in my opinion the best CMS to use as it's really configurable these days with thousands of developers. On the side I see Medium getting bigger but that's for now not really a blogging platform for your business.

Community Discussion - What does becoming a 10x brand mean for you/your business/your clients?
This week on The Moz Blog, Eric Enge wrote about Why You Must Become a 10x Brand. In the post, he said: "You need to be in-demand. If some channel does not make it easy to find you, you need people to miss you. That's why you must behave like an authentic, engaged member of the overall community. Having a great product or service will be a requirement, but that's just table stakes—you need to be a 10x brand." I'd love to know what you think about this statement. In particular, I would love to hear your answers to the following questions: What does becoming a 10x brand mean for you, your business, or your clients? What does this look like in small business, medium business, large/huge businesses? Is it an easier process for any one of these categories, and how would you go about it? I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this topic, folks. Don't be shy, let's discuss. 🙂
