Once you are looking for a blog engine for your site, what is the criteria to choose the right one. I did so long research before made a decision. Let me start from the beginning.

The first question in my mind is what I want to do with new blog. It"s very interesting. What I want to do is not just blog engine. It would be able to let me management contents and change layout efficiently. Actually, I am still a big fan of Google"s product so I started my first blog at Blogger.com. If you are not familiar to blog engine, web-hosting, and any adminitrating related topic, you could use this free service. Anyway, the most disadvantage of Blogger.com is that all contents are generated and published to anywhere you please. It works just fine for blog with small posts or you will never change layout anymore. If you are examining layout and oftenly change it over time, don"t use Blogger.com. The right blog engine for you must on-line generate pages at runtime so you don"t need to regenerate all pages after changing a few bytes in layout template.

At this point, you could cut Blogger.com out of your head to make your selection more simpler. By the way, you might be still interesting in Blogger.com if you are already designed the right template. Let"s go to next step.
