As a blogger or a wannabe blogger, you may be looking for ideas on various tools available for building your site, or other tasks. Let me share options for some of the popular tools or resources. Some of the tools are free, some have freemium models and some are paid.
Free Tools: Absolutely free
Freemium: These tools have multiple plans. Some of the features are available in free plan and for more features, you need to pay.
Freemium = Free + Premium
Open Source: Some of the tools mentioned here are open source. This means, if you are interested, you can take the source code and make changes. So, now you have your own unique version of the same tool. I love open source tools.
This page is continuously evolving. I’ll add more content, share URLs with you.
