The Write Moment in Retrospect, September 15, 2015: Reflections of a Blogging Journey from Community to Content

Hey #JustWrite! It is April 15th, Tax Day, lol! You know what else today is? Today is Wednesday, Write on Wednesday to be more specific! Shoutout to sister Kim for charging the Just Write! Support Group community to set aside time on Wednesday to blog. As the blog master and content influencer of Just Write! Support Group as Kim so eloquently stated, that mantra reminded me of my earlier days with Just Write! and the blessing of community through blogs. I remember the first blog I wrote after a year of being Just Write's blog master. Within that blog, I celebrated my personal journey leading to my connection to Just Write. This month I wanted to share that blog as a moment in retrospect from September 15, 2015. As a celebratory moment and token of appreciation, I decided within the blog to share tips on blogging to help those who may want to branch off and build community through personal writings, upcoming books, or as a subject matter expert. I remember listing the top 3 blog platforms at that time: WordPress, Blogger (Google platform), and Tumblr. 

Surprisingly these platforms still exist 11 years later and there have been more platforms added to the top blog platforms list for 2026.

1. Wix

2. Hostinger

3. Base 44

4. Shopify

5. BlueHost

6. Ionos

7. GoDaddy

8. DreamHost

9. SquareSpace

10. Network Solutions

Check out more information regarding those sites here. 

Please note with AI capabilities as an enhancement for some platforms, creating and maintaining a blog is so easy to start. It's a matter of finding your niche and producing content that fits your needs and brand. 

I close with a link to a blog from GotQuestions.org a ministry I began following when I would have questions about the Bible and how it spoke on certain subjects. I pray it inspires you all to create your own blogs and build community.

Happy blogging!!
