Starting a brand new blog today - Is it still Wordpress?
-
Hi
I started a blog in 2006 on Blogspot, then everyone moved onto Tumblr and Wordpress, but in August (just) 2013, what should I be starting my brand new blog on? I dont want to have to migrate in a matter on months.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the answers. Will stick to Wordpress then!

I would say wordpress because you can self host (either on domain or sub-domain) both helping your domain authority, Blogger as far as I know is a Google hosted off your domain only option.

Hi
Def recommend wordpress.
It seems as the industry standard, and taking into consideration made by Martijn, it appears that developers are consistently developing new add-ons and improvements.
Good Luck

Hiya,
A lot of people use Wordpress but my advice is to stay with the system you know if you know the ins and outs of. if your content is good it wont matter where you are people come for the content.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Cool question, I would still stay with WordPress nowadays as it's in my opinion the best CMS to use as it's really configurable these days with thousands of developers. On the side I see Medium getting bigger but that's for now not really a blogging platform for your business.

Knowledge base for seo, announcing new articles on blog (dupe content)
Hi all, Im thinking of creating a knowledge base with all many asked questions in my company. This could be a great Link-bait source but also nice ranking opportunities i think. But sometimes some new articles are so actual that i also want to blog them.

Would it be smart to have 2 different blogs on our site?
I run Wick Video - where we make animated videos for businesses. We are toying around with making blog/video content geared toward marketers, _and _creating blogs/tutorials geared toward designers and animators. Since it's two totally different groups, we've had the idea of making two separate blogs. Is that a good idea? Any websites currently doing this well?

At what point to stop comments on a blog? Do too many comments hurt the page?
I have a page that's ranking pretty well, and driving sales. That page is starting to get 10+ comments per day and is starting to get quite long. I was wondering if there is a point where I should disable the comments? My gut tells me that people interacting with the page, and Google seeing responses with the users SHOULD be a good thing not bad. But, then I think that a majority of the content of the page is no longer the article, but the comments. All the comments are good, non spammy and directly related to the topic. People just asking questions, etc. Good engagement, I should be happy right?

Blog Frequency
Hi, We have a new blog, we write 4 blogs per month and have been posting all 4 in one go at the same time per month. Would it be more beneficial to post the blogs 1 per week or does it not matter? Also, is 4 blog 250 word blogs per month enough or should we be doing more? Thanks Andrew

Do GoogleWacks still exist?
Hi there everybody, It's the end of a long day and i have a few minutes to spare. So what better way than to spend those minutes on the seomoz forum. As you might have already noticed this isn't a serious technical question, but more of a fun google related one. As the title suggests..... Do googlwhacks still exist ? For the people not familiar with a Googlewhack, its a 2 word search query that comes back with a signle hit in the SERPS. Here are some examples of what used to be googlewhacks (which they aren't any more pretty much the moment someone writes about it and Google indexes it and gives up 2 results): bamboozle guzzler unmerciless politician inculcating skullduggery antiestablishmentarianism psycho Who else remembers the good ol' Googlwhack days? P.S. SeoMoz mods, I have no clue in what category to place this topic :). It's just a fun question, thats all.

Wordpress post templates
Hi everyone! What I need is a way in Wordpress for the author to select a category for their post, and then have a template come up with some fields in addition to just the large field where you write your post, where the author can add some additional information. Then on the final post, have that information added to the top in some format that I (as the admin) can control. What I'm doing is setting up an internal company blog so our employees can have more visibility across teams. Some categories of posts will always include the same information, like release numbers, conference attendance, yes/no conclusions, among other information. If there's a plug-in for this, free or not, that would be great! If you can't tell I'm a Wordpress noob... so please bear with me. 🙂
