Best blogging platform to write about Retro chod?(with pics)

I'd go with Wordpress. It's a little bit techy but the best supported with lots of free themes and ways to lay out your pages. You'd need to set up a domain with a provider that supports it - most do. My provider (Heart Internet) will install it for you right out of the box and the cost for the site and server space over a year is around £50.

I've heard that Retro-Rides is quite good for keeping a record of your motoring adventures!

Chod > Lower grade items of interest that most people couldnt give a hoot about > stuff that makes me tick.

So which sub-forum would be suitable? They're not ongoing projects or show cars...I don't own most of them.

Personally I wish there were more blogs (and forums) again, I really dislike this facebook page/group thing as it really ghetto-ises content, for the profits of large manipulative corporations.

I've run a few blogs before and Wordpress is the good default. It can be unwieldy if you want to add lots and lots of extras to it, but straight out the box it is more than a good performer. Anti spam add-ons are a must though, the best of which have a small fee associated with them. You could start up a Wordpress site for free and then ramp up to the £36 a year option for more control : wordpress.com/pricing/ .

I'd also look at Wix if you want a bit more control over your layout and want an easy way customise the site.

Medium is another option, it is very much a Blogging platform with a capital B, its content tends towards the long form thought piece type stuff, but there is no reason you couldn't use it to talk about shonky old cars. It would be my personal choice if I were to start up a personal blog about something.

The important thing is always going to be the content.

There is no reason you can't do what pinderwagen does and paste posts in here where relevant, it gives you a reason to link your blog to a different audience and gives us a nice bit of content too, so is win win

I use Blogger which is pretty good and easy enough to use, although perhaps a little bit basic, so it suits me. I think the start up and first year was £30, and I think from there on it was £20 a year. I just write my little bit of babble, plop a couple of photos in it, then after having a read through to make sure I've got less spelling mistakes than most car magazines I post it, and add a link in my little thread of babble here on Retro Rides for anyone who might be interested to go and have a look at.
