Hate to code? Check out SquareSpace

When I first came into the blogging world (seems like a long time ago), there was a period of time when I could not decide which blogging platform was best for my personal needs. Each option had positive aspects as well as negative ones and I could not find one that was just the perfect medium.I was looking for a platform that would allow me to give my blog a distinctive look, in-site search capability and ease of use.

WordPress, I read, was the way to go. It is the most powerful and flexible platform out there. Agreed.

But for who? If you are not familiar with HTML and CSS, WordPress is virtually out of your league.

“You get what you pay for” -said others. That’s why you should go the Typepad route. It’s definitely easy to use. You can drag and drop widgets. Customizing is a breeze. In-site Search is… inexistent in your blog. They have it inside their site management, just not in your blog.

Well, if you are like I was, you might want to try Squarespace. This tool is not just a blogging platform. It is a full fledged web design application for people who don’t know (or care about) the technicalities of web design but who know what they want their site to look like. You can do as little or as much as you want and their blog templates are a step above.  You can try it free for two weeks and get pricing information here.

This may or may not be for you but it certainly warrants a look.
