Blog Question

I am thinking of starting a blog. For all you blog writers (or readers) out there, do you like blogspot or wordpress better? Or is there another one that you like instead?

Thanks for the help!

Re: Blog Question

  • I have both...

    You can see them below in my siggy. My cooking blog is through blogspot, and my half training is through wordpress.

    Of the two, wordpress is BY FAR the better. It's more user-friendly. There's a heck of a lot more options. I'm having massive issues with my blogspot account since they made some changes to it a couple months ago. Plus I think the wordpress blogs just look better...more professional??

  • I had a personal one through blogspot and currently use WordPress for my business blog and website.  I prefer WordPress because I feel like there are more options and it is easy to use once you get going.  My WordPress site is hosted through another company but I don't think that makes a difference because everything I do is through the WordPress site.

  • I wish I would have asked this when I started...I have blogger and regret not using Word Press. Switching over seems like a major pain in the @ss especially since I own my domain. Blogger works fine enough for my needs now, but everyone says Word Press is way better. I want to build a more professional blog and I think Blogger limits you.

     

    (I have a bookmarked and saved the site Revive My Blog for when I want to switch over. You can pay them to do it for you. I looked into doing it myself but it looked way more involved then I think I could do on my own.)

  • I use blogspot, but it is pretty basic.  I would use something different if it was for a business, but it is just my personal travel blog.  They only give you a few layouts to choose from, but it was pretty user friendly when I was setting it up.

    This is me. I am definitely lazy. Also, I've been blogging since 2005, I've used almost everything and I keep coming back to Blogger because I have a google account and it's just easier. 

    Link is in my siggy. It's pretty plain but I like it that way.

  • I blog on blogger, but if I started now I'd choose Wordpress. Wordpress has a better set up for comments, and nicer looking templates.
