Hi Lolli. I think the smackdown between blogging platforms will always be. When I first started blogging, not long ago (approx. 6-8 months), I started out with WordPress. In addition to the struggle of just finding your voice and your niche in the blogosphere, I had a horrible time actually keeping my blog up and running. I kept on getting these strange virus errors every time I'd log into my account to post. I even changed themes, but had no results. I asked for assistance, but nobody could understand why this was happening? Fed up with the whole bit, I decided to use Blogger, for the simple fact of Google product integrations. And since, then I've also had success with my personal blog on TypePad. I enjoy the simplicity of both platforms compared to Typepad, but, I do miss the variety of beautiful, styled themes of WordPress. Blogging is like life. Full of trade-offs. ;] .-= AndreaVLewis´s last blog ..Want to become a #Brazen Careerist? #FF Follow Friday =-.

In reply to JessStaska. There are numerous plugins that will allow you to 'follow' someone's WP blog, even ones that will make it easy to Tweet about individual posts. As for the Blogroll, all you need to do is add the Links to one of the sidebars, or add the Friendconnect, Facebook, MyBlogLog or other plugin to get those to show too. .-= Mark MKWeb Hultgren´s last blog ..List Building Report =-.

Great Post and explanations!

I started out with Blogger, WordPress.org (Not self-hosted) and as I gathered more knowledge about WordPress I came to realize that it has to be the easiest system there is to customize and automate.

That was back in 2005 and since then I have built close to 250 domains running WordPress. Yes, I do have a couple that use Joomla and even some Perl and PHP sites for running memberships and affiliate programs.

Since then, I have gathered almost everything I can find on customizing WP and even tried my hand at building some themes and plugins.

With the huge selection of plugins that are available (both FREE and Paid) you can turn WP into almost any type of website that you want.

I have seen memberships, ecommerce, video sites like You-Tube, and complete Content Management Systems (CMS) and more all running on WP.

Once you get the hang of PHP, it is fairly easy to tweak your site to do pretty much just what you want. Here is a site that I just modified this morning running WordPress and some customized plugins – https://2getsales.com

Let me know what you think of the layout and content?

i also think that wordpress blogs look better. something about the grass being greener maybe since i’m on blogger. i’ve been considering making the move but really don’t even know where to begin.

Thanks for sharing your insight! I am on Blogger, but I like the look of WordPress blogs. I just don’t know if I am ready to make the jump over. I have edited my blog to keep a clean design because I think less is more. Baby steps :-)

I have been on wordpress for about seven months and really love it. Although I lost subscribers I have gained them back slowly but surely and my stats improved as well. I still have to rely on my WP guru, Erica, for anything difficult though. .-= Melissa Multitasking Mama´s last blog ..Friendships and Relationships =-.

In reply to Safire. Hey, Safire! Hope all is quiet at your house now. :) Would you respond back to me if you get this message? I just switched my commenting system (yes, again) and I am trying to make sure people are getting my responses. See you in the morning!

I was way impressed when you showed it to me the other day. I’m going to make the switch one day!
