Hi, guys! I've been with blogger for some time now,but I am toying with the idea of moving to wordpress. I'm still thinking about it though and I'm looking for some advice. What do you think? Stay with blogger or move on to wordpress? Thanks!

Blogger or Wordpress?

There are two kinds of wordpress blogs.
- Self-Hosted via wordpress.org
- Hosted on Wordpress.com
If you're thinking to go with wordpress.org
- you'll have to invest for domain, hosting & setup everything by yourself
- it has its own advantages but requires hard work and some knowledge of html, php if you wish to edit theme by yourself.
If you're thinkning to go with wordpress.com
- Then you won't be able to apply for any advertisements
- You won't be able to edit html of your blog
- Many awesome themes available

I have always been with blogger so I think I will stay with blogger just due to the fact that I found it easier to use and that I have spent enough time figuring out how it all works.
I the end it is up to you, so you can actually give it a try on wordpress for like a couple weeks and see how you like it and then decided from there 8)

Hi, Furita! Thanks for the insight. I agree, blogger is easier to use. With so many things to consider, wordpress is already giving me headaches and I'm just signing up! Thanks for your time!

My preference is Wordpress, I switched from Blogger about 2 years ago because of the theme variety and widgets. Youtube help me a lot, still learning.

Thanks, Selya! Will look it up on youtube, I badly need a tutorial for all this migrating. :)

Hi Diane, I use blogger and have found it works well for me. I know people say that there is more flexibility with wordpress but unless youre really html savvy, I'd say stick to blogger. Once you get used to it, you can customise to the extent that your blog looks unique. Its taken a bit of time but I'm really happy with how mine looks now!

Thanks! I'm still working on that html skill, hopefully it will allow me to work things out just fine. :)

I personally use Wordpress and really like it, I never used Bloggers but my problem with Bloggers is that all those blogs are very similar when it comes to layout and design...
Diane ∙ 20 weeks ago
Yeah! I agree on that. Wordpress surely has a lot of themes to choose from. Thanks! :)
What would you like to say?
