Wordpress v. Blogger: another thing
Now with two blogs under Wordpress, I have to say it’s OK, but it’s not that big a leap over Blogger. I still prefer Blogger for its HTML controls and there is another reason: Blogger blogs seem to get picked up in Google Blog Search more quickly. They may ping more accurately, or perhaps Google has a natural bias toward a company it owns. Now that the speed of Blogger has been sorted and there is an auto-save, my two main beefs with the service have been solved.
Still, I can’t say I miss the standard Blogger comment forms and the Wordpress interface is a Doozie. (Or is that Duesie or Düsie?) Being able to group posts by tags and having the whole Wordpress program on our server are boons.
Let’s say I have no one preference yet, but that Wordpress is not problem-free. But if Blogger ever upgrades again and goofs it as it did last time, I am now skilled enough on Wordpress to do the basics.
