Essential Tools for Bloggers

Jan 24, 2007

OK, this is not to dissuade you from blogging, but here is a list of essential tools every blogger should have and I don’t agree with most of them. The most essential tools a blogger needs are:

A good blogging software (WordPress, for instance)
A reliable host to run your blog coupled with a domain, of course.
A good wordpressor; if you cannot afford MS Word, you can download OpenOffice.org that is as good as MS Office. And there are plenty of Web 2.0 word processors available online, for instance Google Docs, Zoho or AjaxWrite.

Of course if you want to run a photo blog then you need a decent digital camera and an image editor. But it beats me why you need expensive software like Dreamweaver and Photoshop CSS to run a successful blog. And why on earth you need an LCD screen?

A quintessential aspect of blogging is that anybody with a net connection can do it. You don’t need expensive gadget, you don’t need expensive software. Yes, you must have lots of things to say :-).
