[Jon Acuff]

Weebly seems super easy to use and do customizations, but perhaps a little basic and not popular as wordpress. What is your choice between Weebly and wordpress for building blogs for FREE that get more potential and benefit from it?

Any recommendations of what to use and why, all your inputs are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, WordPress is your best bet. While one would think that it's hard to customize on your own, it really isn't. Not to mention there are a ton of responsive, easy-to-use, and free themes available to WordPress users. Now-a-days, WordPress is the leading CMS for building websites with blogs. With their bbpress forums and bridge connections, you can easily add a support forum to any WordPress site for more flexibility. I've been using WordPress for years. I adore it and recommend it to anyone who's looking to start a new project. Another great thing about WordPress is that it's updated on a regular basis as are most usable plugins.
