I have my own domain, which is hosted by Yahoo (and was hosted by Geocities when I started, back in 2000). I use Yahoo because at the time I started my journal, the current blogging sites didn’t exist (and the term “blog” had not yet been invented either!). I continue to use Yahoo because it is easier to save my entries than it is using blogging software.
I use blogger. It’s what I started with and I like it. Though the more I see of WordPress the more I seem to like it.
I have my own domain and I use WordPress. I absolutely love it! I had Blogger for the first 1-1/2 years, but once I moved to WordPress I never looked back. The reason I love it so much is that I can schedule a post in advance for any time I want. I also love the comment features — I barely tolerate having to type my info and the word verfication to comment on Blogger (EVERY SINGLE TIME). Once I’m signed into WordPress, I can comment automatically on any WordPress blog without having to retype all that info. Behind the scenes, WordPress is must easier to use than Blogger. Just my opinion though.
my personal blog is on blogger
my mom’s blog (that i admin) and the blog that pays me to write are on wordpress
both platforms have their advantages.
I use WordPress now, although I began with Blogger. Blogger has a lot of good features, but there seemed to be a few issues that frustrated me to no end. I like WordPress for many reasons, two of which echo Indigo: I like the flexibility in scheduling posts and the comment features (smilies really are smilies!). WP seems to get along much better with Firefox, too.
I started with Geocities long before Blogger existed and that site is about to celebrate its 9th journalversary, but a couple of years ago, I started a mirror site on Blogger because it was easier to subscribe and for things like TMA, I couldn’t participate in comment luv or other such things, so now I post an entry in both places, on my own domain and on Blogger. I’ve never tried WordPress.
Bevs last blog post..How Old Are You?
i have blogger, i don’t really understand the differences so i’m not switching.
I use Blogger, though I agree WordPress works better. My friend made this really neat design for me as a Christmas present and I don’t know how to move it to WordPress. I use Haloscan for my comments, that’s what all the cool kids used when I started blogging 4 years ago, so I signed up. I like Haloscan’s interface more than Blogger’s for comments, so I’m sticking with it.
