WordPress. Tumblr. Posterous. Yola. Blogger. Onsugar.
So many different blogging platforms out there, how do you know which one is the right one for your fashion blog?
The blogging platform you choose makes a difference. My top recommendation for those wanting to launch a fashion blog would have to be Tumblr. According to Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp, approximately 180 of the top 1,000 Tumblr blogs are fashion-related. And fashion-related Tumblr posts are reblogged on a much greater scale than general Tumblr posts, Tumblr Fashion Director Rich Tong says, suggesting that “there’s a huge capacity for fashion content to go viral on Tumblr.”
Not only does the Tumbr blogging platform come with a built in fashion community (thus allowing for a much greater reach than you would have with other blogging platforms), it also comes with easy to customize free and premium themes. Tumblr lets you to share anything easily. You can post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your browser, phone, desktop or email.
Tumblr is also a very photo focused platform with incredible high res images. Perfect for an aspiring fashion blogger.
