This scenario leads to one having several accounts which at times may be difficult to keep track of leave alone maintain and that is why wordpress blogs are easier to set up and maintain mainly because they don’t involve all the above steps.
It is however important to know which type of a blog one wants in wordpress since there exists mainly two types of blogs:

- Upgraded wordpress blogs (paid for)
The two types of wordpress blogs mentioned above each has they own strengths and weaknesses though if one is serious about blogging, they ought to upgrade their free wordpress blog to a premium one so to say as this not only increases online storage space but it also makes available several other features e.g. plugins which can be a great accessory for your blog.
