Blogger vs. WordPress

I found an interesting comparision between the two main blog hosts– Blogger (blogspot.com) and WordPress.

One thing that stands out– WordPress allows you to import your blog from another site (such as Blogger), but Blogger does not. So, it seems that if your are going to start with one with the option to switch, start with Blogger.

It also sounds like Blogger is generally easier because you don’t have as many options are you do with WordPress.

Still working on finding out which is easier for people to find when searching the web. . .

Have a look at:

New Look for WordPress

Leave it to WordPress– right after we’ve created this site chock full of resources– to totally change the layout of their admin pages.

Sorry, but as you may have noticed, WordPress editing is not quite the same as it used to be. Once you get used to it its fine, but you’ll find things in completely different places than they used to be. All those step-by-step tutorials on this site? They’re old news

The good news is that, if you’re vaguely familiar with WordPress, you’ll soon find your way around.
