WordPress vs. Blogger

Why I choose WordPress?

Mm.. I was searching for a long time for a good blog-service, but i couldn’t finally to decide: Blogger? or WordPress?
WordPress, Blogger are all blog-services that are free, allow users to input text, and are community driven and thus have privacy features. (These are the most popular)

Having used all blog-services, I must say that out of WordPress and Blogger, WordPress is best suited for my needs. Now I know I’m saying this ‘in’ WordPress, and so it looks like I’m sucking up, but actually I’ve found that WordPress, primarily because of it’s categories is more user-friendly for writing.

But let me give more detailes:

Blogger.com (Blogspot)

Blogger.com was the first blog-service I used. It was free, it was associated with Google (a company that I respect), and it offered me html editing. But when I started using it for writing, I found that I really needed to categorise my work. Meaning, even if my blog was about one major topic, let’s say Linux, I wanted categories, like distributions, helps, tutorials etc. Plus I also wanted to highlight a key post, something that would be accessible for all viewers easily. The way I worked around these needs to was to extend the links on the side, making special links for the posts I wanted highlighted. I also tried talking about one category in a month, so that the entire month becomes one category! It wasn’t that I would have stopped blogging if I didn’t get categories, but definitely I knew I needed them. I enjoyed blogspot, but something was missing. I knew it. (now blogger now has categories). Blogger.com is full synchronised with my Google Picasa Web Album. – Plus for Blogger.

WordPress.com

Enter WordPress! I saw wordpress.com in action when another beginner blogger needed my help to edit his wordpress blog. When I saw his blog, I immediately wanted it.. But when I saw categories, I was down!!

As soon as I helped him out (I had never seen/used WordPress before, but it was pretty simple to use). I went to my own computer, registered and to my utter amazement I saw the feature to import blogs! Earlier the only thing stopping me from changing would have been the fact that I would loose all my earlier work.

Another feature that I really liked in WordPress was the ability to make static pages. This solved my problem for standard pages that I want everyone to be able to access. So for instance, this site has “which linux?”, “about me” is on a separate page; it is a helpful quick-access page.

As I continued using WordPress, one thing I really missed (from my blogger.com days) was the ability to edit my page (CSS and all). Editing my page was something I really enjoyed in blogger.com and wish I could have it in WordPress. WordPress is not working with my Google Picassa Web Album..that’s why I must to change to www.flickr.com.

Another thing I missed was the ability to post through email. Blogger.com offers a helpful feature, where you have a unique email address for each post, and then, you just need to email your uploads. WordPress sadly doesn’t have this… maybe later it will.

Yet another thing I missed in WordPress was the ability to search other blogs from within the top-bar of blogger.com. In WordPress, while the search feature in our blogs are quite helpful (and better suited than on the top-bar in blogger), still I miss the ability to browse other sites.

Now I’m using wordpress and Blogger, and I still can’t decide, what to choose.
