Although it seems like a mad thing to do, there is some method behind the madness... I'm moving my blog to Blogger, rebranding it, and announcing it to the world and it's dog :)

I would have to agree on that. I used the wordpress free templates and after talking to 2 friends of mine which are good at what they do. I started using wordpress for a particular site. WP has many more advantages but I also use Blogger
I've been doing more and more with Google tools recently, and given the Android Blogger app launched last month, and UNLIMITED photos below 800px on Picasaweb now (which is integrated into Blogger), it's a bit of a no-brainer.
Plus (as you will see if you look at www.farflungfriend.com - blogger can be monkeyed with quite a bit... certainly enough for my purposes.
I just have the hard work now of building up a readership. I think this time I'm going to do it by involving myself in the blogging community once more, and by old fashioned commenting... it's time I became a little less insular.
I've noticed Blogger is for personal blogs and Wordpress for all things business. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Hi Kathy.
It's slowly turning that way, yes. It's a weird transition for me because I'm a professional web developer - I knew how to turn Wordpress inside out. Blogger removes that from me, meaning I get to concentrate on the writing. No bad thing.
Thanks for the input :)
If you don't mind me asking, what's the deeper reason of your transition? I'm not a web designer or developer but I use Wordpress on my other blog and I love it. Blogger's like Wordpress' little bro.
Kathy,
Just focussing on writing really. More and more of the things I do online are based around Google products too - and will probably head more that way as time goes on.
I might print the archives of my old blog out via Blurb (www.blurb.com) into book form... maybe a book a year or something.
I see. Writing thoughts more than code. I'd ask more but I'd be more annoying than I am. I'll stop now. Good luck doing your thing. :)
up to my knowledge blogger is better when compared to wordpress. Bcoz in wordpress we dont hav permissions to edit our themes and to add some codes.if we ask support desk on this they replied for security reasons they r not providing that facility.but in blogger we can do what ever we want.i first started my blog in wordpress,but after coming across these problems i started my blog in blogger.but am using both.
u got a nice blog, read thru some posts and ur Little Miss 5 and 7...interesting! Keep up
Hariharan - wordpress.com is a very different animal than the source code you can download from wordpress.org and install on your own webspace.
