Blogger vs. WordPress

I've been tempted lately to pack this baby up, move to WordPress, and start over. It just seems that WordPress has a nicer look and feel that you can do more with in terms of customizations and whatnot. Back when I started, Blogger was free and WordPress was not, so the decision was pretty easy. This blog has been around for a number of years now (since 2004 or so) and there's a lot of stuff in the archives. Some of it is decent, most of it is worthless I'm sure. There was a time when we were seeing 100 or more hits per day (back when I had a different job, no kids, and more time). So there's a bit of traction at this URL in terms of Google searches and that sort of thing, and there are still a few folks with bookmarks (though they are very few now I'm sure!). So for now I remain on Blogger. Besides, supposedly Blogger is going to get something of a facelift in the not-too-distant future. That said, I'm open to suggestions or comments, however, and could be persuaded the other way.

Thanks for putting together this comparison. Blogger is a lot easier and straightforward. You can do awesome things with Wordpress, but for ease of use and layout, for blogs, have to say Blogger.

Blogger has always been an easier blogging platform to use and Wordpress, with its solid functionality, is said to offer the best services and plugins.
