Which of these blogging platforms is easiest to use when uploading an article with photos and a video, Medium or WordPress? Many thanks
I'm needing to upload an article with some photos and a video to a blogging website. I've narrowed it down to Medium or Wordpress, however, this will be my first time doing this.
I'm not sure which platform is easiest to use. So I would appreciate some replies please, thanks in advance.

- @Dionne Boateng no problemo :) I’m glad
- @Kruti Patel Hi, I uploaded a test video via YouTube and managed to embed it into a test article on my Medium page.Thanks for following up with me and for your advice, it has been really helpful :)
- @Dionne Boateng hey, that might work. Let me know how it goes
- Thanks, @Kruti Patel for sharing your video example with me.I may have to upload my video via Youtube and embed the link on my Medium blog that way.
- @Kruti Patel right I see thanks for the heads up. I'm looking to upload the video either from Google Drive or via my phone.
- @Dionne Boateng find this blogpost as an example https://medium.com/@krutipatel.rp/case-study-a-design-review-of-zaras-website-29da7548f194. Find a Vimeo video on here
- @Dionne Boateng I think you need to upload your video to an online platform like Vimeo and then embed the video within your blog using a link. I tried uploading a video from a saved folder and it didn’t work.
- @Kruti Patel Thanks for your reply, I decided to use Medium in the end.Cab you advise please, how you uploaded your video to your Medium page?
- You can use Medium, its pretty good. I have uploaded a Vimeo video onto a blogpost before. Pretty easy to use :)
- Thanks for your replies both
- You might look at Ghost.org, bloggi.com, or even Squarespace as alternatives. Wordpress has its challenges to get up and running fast, and Medium has a lot of paywalls to access content.
- I'm far from an expert, but I know many people use Wordpress for its blog function. I'm trying to this too, but haven't figured out the technicalities to setting it up.
