haaay i have a wordpress blog (http://manilamommy.com). i am learning, learning, learning, even learned to use an ftp program (filezilla) just for it. oh when will the madness end? :P

Whoa! I didn't know that Wordpress charges that much! I have not paid wordpress anything at all ever since I used their services. I bought my domain from Namecheap, pay Dreamhost for hosting every year, and just implemented a one-time installment of the free wordpress CMS. Dreamhost has a one-click install of wordpress to whatever domain you want, all my blogs are hosted in one place. :)

If I have to pay Wordpress everytime I make a move (put up ads, pay $15 to customized -- eek!), ouch, that's really inconvenient, I would've jumped ship to blogger too.

I like blogger as well, for the reasons you stated. I've used that in my early years of blogging and I found it really user-friendly. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but you're right, it does boil down to personal preference. :)

Hi, Chinachix! Thanks for your comment. Wordpress ...

Hi, Chinachix! Thanks for your comment. Wordpress has a...challenging(?) learning curve, especially if you've used Blogger from the get-go. Anyway, changing templates should be relatively easy, plug-and-play, over Blogger, if you don't have too many things on the sidebar :) Before you tweak anything though, don't forget to upload a copy of your original template to your desktop, in case you change your mind!

Hi Mariel...this is such an informative post for a blog virgin like me. i've never tried wordpress or any other blogging sites, but i have to agree with you about its user-friendly features. although, i have attempted at changing my blog template, but somehow it hasn't worked out.

Hi, Maris! Yup, it really is a personal preference. You're right though, Blogger still doesn't have that feature where you can add sub-pages to your domain. That would be cool. Oh! You can publish to your own domain quite fast and easy under "Settings" and "Publishing," then just follow the prompts :)

Blogger, in the long run, works for me too. I like Blogger for the following as well: domain mapping (though I have yet to get my own domain), HTML and CSS editing (Wordpress themes are so limited, and you need to pay to be able to edit the CSS of the themes), and AdSense (though I've never earned anything through AdSense, I like thinking that I could, haha).

I don't know why, and my reason sounds really . . . senseless, but I like the color scheme and layout of the Wordpress interface. Hee. And the ability to add pages and insert files for download.

But if Blogger has pages and have files available for download, it would be perfect for me already. :)
