Geekers - In the previous tutorial, I explained in sufficient detail how to create a blog using the blogger or blogspot platform. However, there is one other blogging platform that is quite popular and you can make it an alternative to blogger, namely WordPress.
Wordpress is a very popular CMS application where almost 30% of websites on the internet use WordPress as the CMS on their website. However, many do not know that WordPress has 2 versions, namely wordpress.com and wordpress.org. Wordpress.com is a free blogging platform (paid plans are also available) which has the same working principle as blogger.com.
At wordpress.com, you can create a free blog with the subdomain characteristic of .wordpress.com at your blog address (if on blogger, blogname.blogspot.com). Meanwhile, wordpress.org is a CMS (self-hosted) application and to install it, you need a domain along with hosting to store website files. Do you understand the difference between the two?
