Hello, I Have a Question!
I have a blog for Technology How-TO Tutorials like wiki how.
currently, I am using blogger, now I decided to take the further step to buy hosting for my blog.
Big Question is Which Software will work best for my blog “Mediawiki or WordPress”
Thank you!
Hello Rajat,
We have gone through your website and Mediawiki is not meant for the blog. If you are planning to create a knowledge base website like Wikipedia then the Mediawiki is the good option in opensource. But you have a blog then you should go for WordPress because of reliability and huge plugin database to enhance the website functionality.
