I was curious to see what all the hype was about at [1] eMoms, so I decided to poke around the site a little. Glad I did, as I found a valuable resource there: [2] A Guide to Blogging Platforms and Hosting Companies. Even though I am set on my blogging platform i.e. [3] Wordpress, it was interesting to see a breakdown and the various differences between all the available ones out there. Wish I had this when I was looking for one 6 months ago!

The compared platforms are Wordpress.org, Movable Type, TypePad, Wordpress.com, Blogger, Expression Engine and Squarespace. The comparison chart also included Hosting company support, Costs, User help features, Ability to add/customize advertising, Statistics, Sidebar features, Domain mapping, Static page creation and more!
