Blogging Platforms
So I’ve been running a series of ‘brownbag sessions’ at work around the topic of starting a blog. I thought this would be appropriate in a building full of journalists! So far, it’s been fantastic, almost a dozen very enthusiastic attendees.
One of the key issues that’s come up has been which blogging platform to go with. I’ve narrowed down the options to Wordpress or Jekyll. But I found it very difficult to explain the difference between a static site generator (Jekyll) and a full-blown CMS (Wordpress). So I recorded screencasts demonstrating the workflows of each platform, to give the attendees a better impression of the differences. “Show, don’t tell”, and all that.
Here are the videos, thought they might be helpful to the wider world!
