Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
It is great to hear that you are starting a blog soon. Unfortunately, we do not have any professional advice on this.
But you should be able to start a blog without coding experience. We wish you all the best!
