I've noticed that some of the websites built on wordpress have the following blog address:
www.mysebsite.com/topic-of-interest
on weebly however blog adresses look like this
www.mysebsite.com/specific-blog-name/topic-of-interest
Does longer URL means it is less SEO friendly and will be harder to rank on google ?

Hi there! I'm not an SEO expert, but a quick Google search yields mixed opinions on URL length. I didn't have a chance to dig too far into it, but the negative opinions on longer URLs gave examples with unrecognized characters, while the positive opinions stressed keyword focus. The blog URL is going to be specific to the blog post and will have those desired keywords. If the URL was something like www.mysebsite.com/specific-blog-name/topic-of-interest/1308%%29e429r9-2-3 then I would be more concerned. Again, I'm definitely not a expert on this and I certainly welcome some more opinions from others.
