101 Essential Blogging Resources
Update: There are now 122 resources, so thanks for your suggestions and keep them coming!
Update: This article has been translated into Spanish here and here and has been translated into French here.
With the amount of tools and programs cropping up all over the web for every type of person imagineable, its about time that someone wrote a massive list of resources for bloggers. Fortunately, I’ve taken up that responsibility to share with you some of the tools I use in my daily blogging life. Please note that by no means is this a definitive list, so please let me know if you think I’ve missed any out!

Domain Registrars


If you’re starting up on the web, then you’re gonna need an address where people can reach you:

    1. Namecheap - $8.88 per year with free WhoisGuard
    2. GoDaddy - $8.95 per year (and lower)
    3. 1&1 - $5.99 per year with free private domain registration
    4. MyDomain - $8.25 per year

Hosting
Once you’ve got yourself an address, you’re gonna need a house to store all of your juicy blog posts - so grab yourself some server space:

    1. Dreamhost - Great plans, great prices with loads of bandwidth and diskspace.
    2. Frozen Webhost - Small company but only $5/month and very reliable.
    3. Media Temple - Awesome recommendations, grid and dedicated hosting.
    4. Rackspace - Managed, dedicated and scalable web hosting for businesses
    5. Hostgator - Shared hosting at $6.95 per month
    6. Bluehost - Affordable, Reliable, Web Hosting Solutions


Content Management Systems
These babies are the core of your blog, so choose carefully. Take pricing, customisation and aesthetics into account for this one:

    1. Wordpress - The industry standard and most widely used - and its FREE!
    2. Blogger - quick blog creation, but FTP can be slow and you don’t have full control
    3. Typepad - another blogging platform, but pricing from $4.95/month
    4. Joomla - CMS and Web Application Framework and free
    5. Drupal - Full-featured content management/discussion engine suitable to setup a news-driven community or portal site
    6. SquareSpace - Publishing system for managing websites and blogs
    7. Movable Type - Weblog publishing system developed by California-based Six Apart

Communication
If you want to be a proper blogger, you’ve gotta communicate with your fans. Instant Messaging and Email are the quickest and easiest ways to do so:

    1. Gmail - Free web-based email service that includes over 2 GB of storage (and growing)
    2. Hotmail - Free web-based e-mail with 2GB e-mail storage
    3. Yahoo Mail - Free web-based email with unlimited mail storage
    4. Outlook - Email manager which can be used with MS Exchange Server for shared mailboxes
    5. Windows Live Messenger - Instant messaging program, talk to Yahoo contacts as well!
    6. AIM - AOL Instant Messenger, free online chat service
    7. Gtalk - Instant communication in conjunction with Gmail
    8. Yahoo Messenger - Free instant messaging with file sharing
    9. Basecamp - Project collaboration, management and task software
    10. Campfire - Real-time group chat for businesses
    11. GoToMeeting - Web conferencing and online meetings service

    15. Skype - Free internet calling from PC to PC

Research
To be the best, you’ve got to overcome the rest, so find out what your competitors are doing, and beat their blogs at their own game:

    Great list, Adnan! Thanks for posting.

  • 2 Collis // May 23, 2007 at 11:45 pm

    Wow, tons of links for me to check out! Bookmarked!

  • 3 Cadu de Castro Alves // May 24, 2007 at 4:17 am

    Nice article! Very helpful.
    But you forgot pMetrics for Statistics.

  • 4 Flood of Dollars // May 24, 2007 at 5:56 am

    Xoom payment method for non-US citizens is great, too, for those who would like to monetize their sites via donation.

  • 5 Paul // May 24, 2007 at 8:21 am

    Some of the hosting companies you’ve mentioned run affiliate programmes if you’d like those links to make you a bit of money as well. :)

  • 6 Adnan // May 24, 2007 at 8:57 am

    Thanks for your comments guys, don’t forget to Digg the article too!

    I’ll add those tools you mentioned.

    Paul - At the moment I want to keep the links affiliate free as it may damage the reputation of the article, but definitely once the initial hubub has died down, I’ll be optimizing with affiliate links!

  • 7 DotSauce Domain Magazine // May 24, 2007 at 9:41 am

    Nice list, thanks for putting the work in.

  • 8 Nadav // May 24, 2007 at 11:37 am

    Hi,
    I just wanted to drop by and say that it’s a great list, especially for newbie bloggers or people who are considering blogging, but don’t know where to start.

    I have also blogged about your post on my blog, and linked it here.

    Great list so far, and I’ll be sure to come back to see if there are any updates :-).

  • 9 adnan // May 24, 2007 at 11:46 am

    Hey Mark and Nadav - thanks for the warm words and the linkups, the list is growing by the hour, so don’t forget to come back to see the newbies!

  • 10 Billy Mac // May 24, 2007 at 2:25 pm

    Great service you offered here. Nicely done.

  • 11 Stephen Ward // May 24, 2007 at 2:49 pm

    I was very gratified to see many of my favorite resources not only on the list, but highly ranked. Thanks for letting me know that I’m using the right stuff. ;)

  • 12 cass // May 24, 2007 at 3:55 pm

    great list, thanks so much for the resources!

  • 13 David // May 24, 2007 at 4:08 pm

    Great list! I love long lists! I also like this ‘101′ article on 101 Steps to Becoming a Better Blogger!

  • 14 youlki22 // May 24, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    Very impressive work. I love the lists of resources. But wasn’t it better to link some of your links to more lists. As free blog hosting and paying blog hosting(revenue sharing) sites I have given at my blog.
    I have linked your post at my blog. Happy blogging!

  • 15 steveroesler // May 24, 2007 at 6:37 pm

    Helpful list, Adnan. You’ve saved all of us some time with useful sites…always a winner!

  • 16 Daniel Hough // May 24, 2007 at 7:52 pm

    Actually, Hotmail now gives 2 gigabytes of storage, according to the main page. Just so you know :)

    I’m a fan of Gmail though, personally.

    Cool list!

  • 17 The Average White Guy // May 24, 2007 at 7:54 pm

    Thanks for the tips…

  • 18 chuck // May 24, 2007 at 7:55 pm

    Another free blogging resource is PageBuildr. You can create a full-featured blog, and completely customize the look of your template without needing to know any HTML code.

  • 19 Travis McCrea // May 24, 2007 at 7:59 pm

    I really like your post. I would like to suggest e107 as the CMS though for blogging over joomla, while joomla can work as a blog too, e107 is much simpler and more effectivly used as a CMS as well as a blog (either or) and for themes I suggest e107designs.org

  • 20 phplemon.com // May 24, 2007 at 8:08 pm

    Great list, thanks for that. Phil

  • 21 Pensador // May 24, 2007 at 8:12 pm

    How, great list you got there!
    Just wondering, how is the service offered at Namecheap.com compared with Godaddy?

  • 22 Webomatica // May 24, 2007 at 8:21 pm

    Cool list - I would add Twitter under communication. I’ll bookmark this to check out the links less familiar to me, though.

  • 23 AoE // May 24, 2007 at 8:24 pm

    Excellent list, thank you. One error I noticed though, hotmail offers 2 GBs of space nowadays, not 2 MBs. :)

  • 24 Jonny // May 24, 2007 at 8:28 pm

    What about services like http://www.feedmailer.net and http://www.rssfwd.com shouldnt they fall under feed readers?

  • 25 Jon // May 24, 2007 at 8:30 pm

    What a list! Lots of great resources. I found this neat site a few days ago that turns your blog designs into WordPress themes MUCH cheaper ($69 for 96 hours to $349 for 24) than some other places. Link

  • 26 kNotaRobot // May 24, 2007 at 8:35 pm

    I would add Skype to your communication list. You can have people call you right from your page…if you both have the free P2P VoIP service installed.

  • 27 basscleff // May 24, 2007 at 8:42 pm

    hostsearch.com is a good place to search for hosting companies on the cheap.
    livehost.net is one place i have used for the last few years.

  • 28 Paul Levinson // May 24, 2007 at 8:48 pm

    Instructive post - many thanks!

  • 29 Rick // May 24, 2007 at 8:53 pm

    How about Squarespace?

  • 30 RateYourCertification.com // May 24, 2007 at 9:04 pm

    This list is fantastic work. Thanks for the info and we will definitely try to put it to good use.

  • 31 abduzeedo // May 24, 2007 at 9:09 pm

    Thanks a lot, it’s a very useful list…. maybe flickr under the Miscellaneous…

  • 32 Alessandro Piana // May 24, 2007 at 10:11 pm

    I would have put Drupal among the Content Management Systems, for the more savvy out there.

  • 33 Brian // May 24, 2007 at 10:25 pm

    Great list, man. I’m so glad to see it catching on with so many folks around the blogosphere.

    Congrats!

  • 34 Melissa // May 24, 2007 at 10:28 pm

    I would have added Daily Blog Tips and About Weblogs but a worthy list all the same.

  • 35 Ivan Minic // May 24, 2007 at 10:58 pm

    Brilliant collection of resources!

  • 36 CHAN // May 25, 2007 at 12:00 am

    great list. cheers!

  • 37 Paul // May 25, 2007 at 12:39 am

    Thanks for the great list. I’ve found several new resources that I will be making use of.

  • 38 iva // May 25, 2007 at 12:55 am

    great list, i wonder how long it took you to compile it..

  • 39 Scott Paton // May 25, 2007 at 1:22 am

    Hi Adnan

    What tool do you use to make the ‘Digg it’ counter on th etop right?
    Thanks
    Scott
    PS Great resource - thanks!

  • 40 pelf // May 25, 2007 at 1:38 am

    Oh my.. This list is sooo exhaustive! Thanks a bunch :)

  • 41 Myo Kyaw Htun // May 25, 2007 at 3:04 am

    Thanks much for this list.

  • 42 Keith // May 25, 2007 at 4:55 am

    There are a few more vital resources which I feel should be included.

    For example, BlueHost offers $6.95 per month for hosting, and yet provides a long list of features, including but not limited to SSH Access, 3TB transfer and more.

    Secondly, why I feel Drupal should also be worth mentioning. It is an impressive CMS software.

  • 43 dd // May 25, 2007 at 5:53 am

    awesome list, thanks for the great work.

  • 44 Raquel // May 25, 2007 at 6:54 am

    How nice! the best resources together.. thank you!

  • 45 syahid ali // May 25, 2007 at 9:53 am

    love you post. maybe you should replace adobe reader with foxit reader for foxit reader, free and way faster pdf doc reader.

  • 46 Daniel // May 25, 2007 at 12:23 pm

    Melissa, thanks for the support :).

    And thanks for the mention on the list. Definitely will be included on my “reader tips” links.

  • 47 Tobbi // May 25, 2007 at 2:08 pm

    I think Windows Live Writer is much better than Microsoft Word for blogging ;)

    Greets,
    Tobbi

  • 48 leo // May 25, 2007 at 5:59 pm

    Thanks, great list that gives the whole picture of blogging.

  • 49 david // May 25, 2007 at 7:39 pm

    Thanks for the great post. Under newsreaders you might want to mention Newsfire, one of the best newsreaders I’ve see yet for the Mac.

  • 50 Nova // May 25, 2007 at 7:51 pm

    Thanks for trackback ;-D

  • 51 CGDotNet // May 25, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    Thanks for this list!

    May I also suggest http://www.squarespace.com/ for your content management system? I love squarespace and they need to be better known.

    This is a very handy list, but after receiving suggestions from your readers, perhaps you may want to do a 2.0 version?

    –J

  • 52 Judy O'Connell // May 26, 2007 at 3:07 pm

    Great list. Do I see Ning for social networking anywhere? http://www.ning.com/ Glad to see you added twitter.

  • 53 Matt // May 26, 2007 at 3:41 pm

    Very good list Adnan. It’s nice to see all of this info in one place!

  • 54 Dave L // May 27, 2007 at 3:41 am

    Suggestion: Add Blogdesk for creating posts

  • 55 Piotr Wójcicki // May 27, 2007 at 3:00 pm

    What a fantastic work. Thank you, thank you very, very much. All serious blogs authors should know your list.

  • 56 Piotr Wójcicki // May 27, 2007 at 3:05 pm

    I’m very satisfied of adding you to my Technorati favorites. Good luck!

  • 57 paul // May 27, 2007 at 7:35 pm

    Don’t forget Ning.com for creating your own social networking network complete with blog, photos, videos, forum, and more!

  • 58 Dave Starr --- ROI Guy // May 28, 2007 at 3:09 am

    Wow … this just gets better and better .. now, where to find the time for checking them all out *smile*

    I’ll second the advice on E107, I’m not currently using it but did in the past and I have several blogging efforts where I think I will go back to it … WordPress is a great tool but it doesn’t do everything, all the time. Many hosts have E107 available for install on Fantastico so it’s as easy to set up as WordPress.

  • 59 Didi // May 28, 2007 at 8:50 am

    Nice list! Thanks a bunch!

  • 60 adnan // May 29, 2007 at 1:23 pm

    Hey Guys. Thanks for all the kind words and suggestions. Where appropriate they have been added, so keep checking back for updates!

  • 61 MorganLighter // May 29, 2007 at 2:30 pm

    Great list! You might want to keep an eye on Technorati - rumors are it may be going out of business - bummer. Under domain registars - you might want to check out HostGator - they have a great support staff and you can call them 24/7.

  • 62 Matias // May 29, 2007 at 2:37 pm

    Great work, I’ll translate it to spanish if you don’t mind.

  • 63 kas // May 29, 2007 at 4:02 pm

    You might want to add jaiku under communication. Also, Blogger is still free, right?

  • 64 marcel // May 29, 2007 at 10:04 pm

    BlogPostsForSale.com is another alternative for bloggers who want to sell links within their blogs.
    http://www.blogpostsforsale.com

  • 65 adnan // May 30, 2007 at 10:08 am

    Hey guys thanks for the comments. Matias, yeah I would love it if it could be translated into Spanish (again). Kas and Marcel, I’ll take a look at those tools you recommended.
    Thanks

  • 66 marcel // May 30, 2007 at 4:00 pm

    Thanks Adnan

    BlogPostsForSale is a bit beta. But bloggers and advertisers can start buying and selling links.

  • 67 DaOwl // May 30, 2007 at 6:00 pm

    May i suggest http://www.pictogame.com

  • 69 Rahul // Jun 3, 2007 at 5:15 am

    In your blogs and forums section, may I suggest you add Quick Online Tips and Lorelle on WP. There 2 blogs are well known for their blogging tips which are very useful for newbie bloggers and will definitely contribute to this amazing list.

    Thanks again and congrats on your blog - keep up the good content!

  • 75 Dave // Jun 17, 2007 at 12:17 am

    I am kind of surprised that I haven’t seen Movable Type ( http://www.movabletype.org ) mentioned as a CMS.

  • 76 adnan // Jun 17, 2007 at 9:42 am

    Thanks for the suggestion Dave.
    Movable Type will be added ;)

    A lot of the social media like Digg or Reddit frown on submissions from blogs esp. if you submit pages from your own blog.

    Some suggest getting together with ten or more of your friends and join Digg then everytime you submit something, you would at the very least have 10 or more Diggs.
