Blog Software Comparison

Many times after productive meetings, people email me or call me back with something like this:

So we are impressed by your blogging platform, but then we met with our IT guy and he said he can do this himself on _____________ freeware.

Following this comment, I often find myself down in the weeds discussing the pros and cons of ever widget, gadget, gizmo, and TIME DRAIN known to man. It's almost as if people are out to find the most difficult way to accomplish a goal rather than the most effective and efficient. This pretty much described my Friday last week and I was actually exhausted from it.

Then, I remembered two great posts from some of the most knowledgable people in our company and possibly in thier field. This first was from a very recent post from our CEO, Chris Baggott. Here is one of the quotes that stuck out:

"The past two years blogging for business has waned because there was no ROI and the tools required technology people to run them coupled with the lack of security from the requirement of 'plug-in's' made them inappropriate for achieving meaningful business goals."

And finally, I love this post from Doug Karr, who is an expert on Wordpress as well as a Compendium shareholder. Here is my favorite quote pull:

"These are the weeds of Search Engine Optimization. As a marketer, wouldn't it be fantastic if you could simply concentrate on writing content and ensuring it's both recent and frequent - and leave the SEO up to some guy eating pizza in a back room?"

Here at Compendium, we are comitted to our clients' success and focus on the end result: helping you make more money. I think that is the easiest way to compare Compendium versus other available blog options.
