What platforms can programmers choose to blog about technology?
The preface
Many tech developers choose to write tech blogs after 2-3 years of work. On the one hand, it can summarize some techniques used, and on the other hand, it can help others. One of the first questions you face when starting a technology blog is how to choose the right blogging platform.
Selection criteria
Before choosing a technology blog, we wanted to establish a selection criteria that defined the ideal blogging platform for us. In my opinion, a good blogging platform should have the following criteria:
- Communication: A good blog platform should have a good SEO and be searched quickly.
- Ease of use: a good blog platform should be convenient for users to read, convenient for authors to maintain. For example, less advertising space, markdown format support, classification and tagging support, etc.
- Focus and Impact: A good technology blogging platform should focus on content that is only RELEVANT to IT and has some impact in the industry.

choose
A more important benefit of a tech blog is that it is not just a summary and document of the technology. From this perspective, traffic and conversion are especially important when choosing a tech blog.
From the perspective of expanding the influence of technology, I recommend the following approach. (1) Set up their own technical public account and Github page for their own publicity and conversion into their own readers. (2) Choose more than one platform to spread, promote their own technical public account and Github page home page. From the above standards and comparison, I will choose tunneling, segmentDefualt, Zhihu column as their main battlefield. Good articles are synchronized to CSDN to expand the spread.
