I am using googlepages for my websites and blogger for my blogs. I have not yet tried any of blogging softwares which need to be downloaded but i will soon try them also. I am a newbie in this field ad i think blogger is best for beginners. Then once you know what blogging is and you need more and more functionality added to your blog then you can think of softwares. Hats off to blogger.

As a brand new Blogger user I have to complain the lack of assistance.
I have tried uselessly to solve a problem that prevent my posts to be commented in the main page. After 2 days of steadily research through those frustrating Google groups I must give up. Sometimes I was kicked off because in the wrong group, sometimes the server error message appeared.
They say it s a 5 minute affair but if you encounter a problem, you can be stuck for days. There should be a forum for troubleshooting especially wnen the error is not due to my negligence.

I am considering to shift to Wordpress as my blog is still very little.
Thank you for attention your page was very interesting.

I’m pretty big on Expression Engine as well, but use WordPress for little sites that I need up and running quickly.

Yah, ExpressionEngine rocks my socks.

I use Movable Type. Why? It is very easy to use. I am a functional techie illiterate, yet I have not had to make a single call to anyone for help. My wife and I are so happy with the system. If we can do it, anyone can. Suggestion for your next poll…who do you use for hosting your blog?

I’m looking for a blogging platform at the moment – so i’ve been very interested in all these comments. Not much on b2evolution, which surprised me. It looks like WordPress is the one with the momentum behind it. My only reservation is that the documentation on the WordPress site is really, really hard to work with. Pages don’t load, it’s difficult to follow etc etc. Anyone know where there’s a really good tutorial?

I used to use b2evolution but moved to Wordpress about 6 months ago.

One more important note about Drupal: It can do EVERYTHING. It is much, much more than a CMS. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I’m amazed at what my blog is capable of doing.

Drupal.

Downside: Drupal isn’t for wimps. I’ve had to teach myself CSS, Php and tons on code… and my theme is still lack-luster.

Upside: Drupal is extremely friendly to search engines, scalable, the code is easy to follow and the plug-ins are great.

Drupal was the tougher road to take for me, but I have been constantly rewarded for the hard work.

I used Blogger until last night. I finally bought some hosting and I am currently moving my blogs over to WP 2.0. I moved 3 of the low traffic ones last night. Still scared to move the big guys, but I will tonight if I have time. ::fingers crossed::

Squarespace is one of very few platforms that allows me to build out a web site along with the blogging and not have things in 20 different places. And by being able to do most of it without programming, so I can concetrate on content.

The blogging features are many; it is not stripped down at all.

@Joe:

It’s pretty easy to move from blogger to wordpress, as they have a dedicated importer that does the job quite well. You have to get your own hosting or use wordpress.com, though.

Even though I currently use Movable Type, I wish I were on WordPress. More development is done for WP, it’s a more vibrant platform, and it scales better. I’ve written some critical stuff about MT (and Six Apart) on my blog, which I guess is a little ironic since I’m still too lazy to port it over.

I use Boastmachine. I like it’s simplicity in management and posting. Since blogging isn’t my main online business, it does what I need without having to sort through endless functions. I have looked into and tested other packages, but this one just seemed to suit me and my purpose.

If I sound stupid, sorry…

How easy or difficult is it to change from Blogger to WP?
