Platforms
As we all know that WordPress has been the king of blogging platforms until now. Because most of the people now use WordPress as CMS (Content Management System) that has made so many changes inside it. So, many people just want a simple platform that is just for blogging and according to some sources over 66% of people use WordPress as CMS. After 29 days on KickStarter ghost raised $300,000 that is a lot of amount if you would ask me. This shows that their are too many people that just want a simple blogging platform and not a CMS like WordPress.
