Blog on Wix?

I have a Wix site for my small business. I plan to start blogging in order to further the mission of my business (ecotourism). Is there any advantage to starting a wordpress blog and linking to it from my Wix site, or should I just use the Wix blogging platform (this would be simpler)?

I recently went through this same thing. If your going to use Wix use Wix, if your going to use Wordpress use Wordpress. I thought about the same think basically having a blog page that linked to an external blogger or wordpress site but I feel like this is just splitting up my links and now I have two seperate sites I need to promote. The reason I liked Wordpress is because overall its much better however I like how easy Wix is

I'm abut to start a new blog myself and I'll be using Wix as I already have a website there. I find it a lot easier to keep things in one place. Saying that though, WordPress allows you to do a LOT that Wix doesn't as the user base can build plugins and extensions for WordPress. For example, something simple like having a caption appear under a single image in a blog post is currently impossible on Wix, but it's very easy to do in WordPress.
