Comparing Blogger to WordPress

Blogging Tools and Services 6 comments

Balay ni Bambit has a great comparative analysis of Blogger vs WordPress for those of your who are still at the stage of choosing a back end client for your blogging. She ends up coming down on the side of WordPress (as I think most serious bloggers would – I admit I’m biassed) but points out some of the issues you’ll have if you are making the switch.

    I started with Blogger and I moved from there to TypePad. I have started running a WordPress blog now for my business and so far I am not thrilled with it (aside from the fact that it is a pretty cool piece of software as an option) mainly because, as a fairly green user, it doesn’t give me options like TypePad’s main and extended post windows (so my posts tend to take up too much space on the WordPress blog) or really well integrated WYSIWYG formatting options. I am starting work on a MovableType test with a view to replacing the WordPress blog if I can get MT working properly.

    People rave about WordPress and I have seen some really well done sites which use WordPress but do green users like me have much of a hope of running something that looks so cool out the box? Is that an unrealistic expectation?

    I’m a movabletype guy. I just started out with it and became adept at tweaking it so there ya go. I actually tried wordpress, but there were a couple of things I didn’t like about it.

    Have you tried pressing the “more” tag which does that for you?

    or really well integrated WYSIWYG formatting options

    Have you tried the WYSIWYG plugin?
