I have a few programming articles I would like to write, but I do not have a site of my own – yet ;).
Is there a site that is specifically geared toward technical / programming topics, with great functionality and style? Or will I have to go with things like wordpress or blogspot?
I would like a site that can track number of views and that has an intuitive commenting system.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
There are other platforms, but you can do a lot of things with a WordPress installation and the right plugins: there are plugins for analytics (you can use Google’s or install something like Piwik)
The commenting system is the classical one for blogs, and you can add extra things to it with plugins (like the possibility to edit it after submit) – is there something in particular you are looking for?
The style is for you to choose and customize. There are a lot of free themes, and you can change a lot about it.
WordPress is quite powerful when you own the domain and can control everything, so I think it’s worth a try.
