Choosing The Right Tools




In blogging, using the correct blog software tools can



help you manage the goings-on of your blog. When it



comes to publishing your blog content, there are two



kinds of blog software tools that you can use, such



as: the server-based tools and the client-based tools.



Both of them have their own advantages and



disadvantages and it is up to you to choose the one



that is right for your blog.





The Client-based Tools





One of the two blog software tools that you can choose



from is the client-based tools. These tools’ purpose



is to aid you with publishing your blog and they are



normally installed on your computer and also run from



there. Additionally, client-based tools are also



categorized as small blogs that are able to run from



your hard drive.





Client-based tools also have text editors that allow



you to perform word processing applications from your



own computer. Thus, a text blog editor enables you to



create and publish your own content at the comfort of



your own desktop.





Obviously, the first advantage of using client-based



tools, like the text editor, is convenience. Most



bloggers choose to publish their work with a desktop



tool rather than a Web browser, which entails logging



into the blog software’s control panel and accessing



the Web-based text editor.





Additionally, client-based tools can be managed either



locally or remotely. Such tools can allow you to



manage and edit your posts remotely. More so, the



content of your blog can also be managed locally by



saving drafts to a local computer. These can be very



beneficial to those with limited Internet connection



since accessing and managing the content of your blog



remotely and locally can be done without the need of



being connected to the Internet.





Lastly, you can manage multiple blogs through the use



of client-based tools. If by any chance you are



publishing more than one blog, it might be easier if



you consider using a blog editor. The blog editor can



be easily configured to manage all your blogs. You



only have to enter the same information that you use



to log in into your server tool combined with the



particular kind of server software you are using and



the blog editor can save that information in its



configuration.





The Server-based Tools





Another kind of blog software tool that you can choose



from is the server-based tools. There are two



varieties of such tools: blog hosting service provider



tools and server-based publishing tools.





The first variety is automatically provided by your



blog hosting service provider. Hosted blog software



tools are very easy to use and you do not have to



install any software or manage any configuration too



difficult to comprehend. These kinds of tools can help



you focus on publishing your content.





With the use of hosted software tools, you are also



provided with an assortment of design templates. These



can help you in choosing the desired layout that suits



your blog. More so, the layouts can be easily



customized, including the fonts, columns, colors, etc.





On the other hand, publishing tools you install on the



server has the advantage of giving you the level of



customization and control you need over the



configuration settings. Through the use of these kinds



of server-based tools, you can decide how much storage



space you allocate, extend the features of your blog



through plug-ins or add-ins and make custom layouts
