   Now If we think our selves as a reader or visitor of blogs instead of thinking our selves as bloggers we will find that people are more interested in contents. For eg. If we visit an Internet site as a host or Internet user trying to search for some latest models of Hyundai cars, we will search on Google with certain specific keywords. Search results will consist of many blogs. Clicking on theme one by one, We will go through them and if we find an interesting and valuable one we will bookmark them or maybe give a comment. Now we don't really bother about the fact whether the host had used a professional URL or used latest WordPress plugins as a criteria to select a particular site.  People will only bother about the Content they receive according to their own interests.  There are numerous free sites available.

One may start with a personal blog however with the help of auto post feature, the post will get automatically posted to various multiple block sites. So, if one adds different platforms to it such as wordpress.com, Tumblr, and Blogger and thus four free blocks could be created with the same content easily. Posterous blogs are easy to set My emails and requires less bells and whistles.

    Tumblr.com enables multimedia posting with push buttons and e-mail posting to be done. Quite similar to Posterous, Number is easy to set up with simple customization themes however Tumblr looks forward towards integration with social media sites so that it could be well shared and reposted within Tumblr’s own community.

Next is Blogger, acquired by Google in 2023 though not getting that importance as obtained by other Google products but nearly covers all features of search engine. it mainly targets on integration with various Google products and it is not so simple as the options and menu choices are not of entry level. If the Blogger block size is big it indicates a huge community support and ensures but at least one search engine is sure to go through the pages.

     Last but not the least people can choose from a hosted blog at wordpress.com – A simple and easy version of the full WordPress product presented for free hosting. So, it enables portability as well as familiarity to upgrade to the full WordPress if one decides later on. Thus, it is essential to differentiate between hosting offered at wordpress.com and the full version of wordpress.org—It is nothing but a simpler and easy to access version as compared to the full product, just it has a limited plugins and customization features.

Step 1: Easy to use:

Step one was to see the easy way of posting in order to have a comparison amongst sites. He matured and well developed web application should never offer inappropriate and tough editing and publishing criterions. Thus the web interfaces should be crystal clear and well working. related to web interfaces, Blogger must have a lead on what pressed due to its easy use nature in spite of the fact that WordPress have some more formatting options. these are some extra, difficult options. Tumblr gives more preference to media with one click publishing but does have regular text Though it’s not seen being flexible and also has limited options. Thus what we want to see is not always what we get. Also, Tumblr interfaces are much slower. Next, if we compare wave interfaces it is found that Posterous wave interface is competitively better when we use post by e-mail feature. Thus Posterous is better Than any other interface since we can be more familiar with it with our e-mail program etc.

Step 2: How to present?

It is essential to view the final outcomes since it matters. Posterous Sites are not that updated being very simple. It is quite a bit clean, elegant site with minimum features. WordPress sites look more professional and have a capacity of being with gated though they may not have that ability. So, it is better not to always add gadgetry even if WordPress allows it. Blogger sites are good and have various themes to select from. Thus it is easier to find attractive things out of it there is Tumblr is not up to the mark since it is difficult to find things due to its unpleasant look specially of the test pages published. Rest depends on individual tastes.

Step 3: Customizations: 

 For customization, we rely on the available by default widgets and see if a particular feature can be customized or not.

It is to find if the commuting nature could be changed. Customization depends on theme selection with some manual code editing with respect to Tumblr and Posterous To adjust to theme features.

Theoretically Tumblr must support other customizations such as intense debate commuting plugins, but when it was actually attempted it was found to ruin the existing Tumblr style sheet that looked like HTML or CSS popped up on page. Wordpress.com selection plugins are limited and sparse and not that popular to be sought after on hosted WordPress sites though it allows HTML customizations. Other widgets does not Customizations though they may offer some additional pages. As there is a good availability of Blogger sites, a Blogger is more open to customizationand is also supported by vendor plugins. Google Prefers it due to its own Adsense monetization benefits. CommentLUV Running on Blogger site was a customization good enough to choose a blog over another.

Step 4: How acceptable it is?

To check for acceptability each blog was claimed with good names and blogging directories. It is to find out how the indexing engines would change in the treatment of free blogs over hosted domain name ones. Technorati does not prefer posteroussite URL But accepted Tumblr and Blogger URLs as hosted blogs. So, there must be certain codes on blogs to decide whether the pages were in English. Overall, WordPress site got only recognized and accepted worldwide. Thus a blog must look like WordPress.

To Conclude: Now, it is to decide over the fact as which one out of the four platforms is the best step to be taken in order to be successful. But this content does not surely tell which one is the best to be successful as things turn out to be different for different people. an individual may weigh success in terms of traffic,financial gain or some other parameters, out of which the most important may be flexibility, it's looks, its user friendliness or scope to update later. 

Now, If all these parameters come up with good grades, Tumblr no doubt will be of an advantage.

So, we must look on all the above steps to find out which are beneficial and let these guide us. Thus, the author might point out what press.com for later upgradation and Posterous for its easy use, Good features suggests Blogger and Tumblr for social integration. However it is pointless what one selects as there is no option other than hard work that accounts for success.
