This is a blog series about how to start a blog that will sometimes reference the tips and tricks I’ve learned from creating my food/booze blog, Philly-ism.com. It’ll cover all the other things you need to know – mainly: the how, the what, the where, the when, and the why should anyone care.

There are countless websites that’ll list out exhaustive pros and cons of WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, Typepad, etc. We want to help you choose one the easy way. Start thinking about the answers to these three questions and roll through this blogfographic that Jackie, our amazing/llama loving intern, designed.
- How much time do you want to invest?
