The Ultimate Blogging Toolkit
Hand-picked resources to help you find the perfect blogging tools for your unique journey
Blogging since 2003
Who I Am
Hello, my name is Hugo and I've been blogging since 2003. Over the years, I've tested countless tools, platforms, and strategies to create and grow blogs.
Beyond blogging, I'm an entrepreneur who founded and scaled a startup to 700 employees across Europe. Throughout my journey, I've maintained my blog to share insights and lessons learned along the way.
I'm also the founder of BlogTally , a toolbox specifically designed for bloggers and content creators, and the creator of Bloggrify , an open-source static blog generator.
Why This Kit
After blogging for over 20 years, I've learned that we all have different criteria when choosing our tools. Some prioritize ease of use, others want complete technical control, and many are somewhere in between.
This toolkit is designed to save you time by curating the best options based on different needs and preferences. No more endless searching and comparing—I've done the research for you.
Objective Comparisons
Each tool is evaluated using the same criteria, with pros and cons clearly highlighted.
Regularly Updated
The blogging landscape changes rapidly, and this toolkit is updated to reflect the latest tools and trends.
Full Transparency
When a tool is mentioned and I have a connection to it (like BlogTally), this is clearly indicated.
It's really easy to lose hours, even days trying to find the right tools for your blog. Whether you're a seasoned professional, a member of a content marketing team or an occasional blogger, you're time is precious. Let's make sure you're spending it wisely.
Frequently Asked Questions
I strive to keep this site as objective as possible. BlogTally is presented among other tools, with its strengths and weaknesses clearly detailed. I encourage you to test different solutions to find the one that best meets your needs.
While I strive to be comprehensive, the blogging ecosystem is constantly evolving. If a tool is missing, it's either because I haven't tested it yet, or because it doesn't meet the minimum quality and reliability criteria I've established.
No, I haven't personally tested every single tool listed. Some tools like TYPO3 or Matomo are industry standards that would be strange to omit even if I haven't used them extensively myself. In some cases, budget constraints limit my ability to test certain premium tools. I also include well-researched recommendations from trusted sources in the blogging community.
