The Blog tool I am recommending is WordPress. WordPress is one of the most popular blogging tools available, and more importantly, it is a very powerful Content Management System (CMS) that can be used for more than just blogging. One can actually build a website, a blog or BOTH using WordPress. Other reasons why I find this to be a great tool, anyone without HTML or CSS skills can update, change and manage a WordPress site.
There are several premium themes to help you customize your site’s look and feel, and hundreds of plugins to help with adding great features to your site. Here’s one person’s view of the top 15 best plugins for 2011
