  • Wordpress
    Since you said you prefer it and have been using it for 2 years now why not go with it.
  • Wordpress hands down

    It has more freedom and support such as themes, plugins and more.

    This person probably told you this because they don't want to spend money for hosting and domains.
    Blogger isn't even considered by most people starting any kind of site.

    • WordPress.org: Beautiful themes, user friendly dashboard, useful plugins, and the list will never end.
      If you decide to go with WordPress then host it on your domain because you will have more flexibility, as you can easily customize your blog according to your needs, add affiliate links, AdSense and many more monetizing methods.
  • Like everyone said: Wordpress! You get all the customization with themes and plugins to get your site to function how you like. I'm always impressed especially with the Wordpress Plugins. When I'm looking to add a specific feature to my site, there's always someone out there that made a plugin or theme that does just that.

    • This is so funny. WP is a load of crap. Hands down. It needs
      plug ins and other nonsense, cuz it just is not very good out
      of the box.

      Blogger is one of the biggest, baddest websites on the planet.
      It is SEO'd right out of the box by none other than google.
      Exactly the way they want it. You don't need any themes or
      plugins, as you can put anything anywhere you want at any anytime.

      I wonder why you people use youtube. Check that. Maybe you use
      something else. Just like WP.

  • If you've been around any length of time, you'll find that Paulgl is usually full of negative posts. So, take what he says with a grain of salt. I personally love WP and that's the platform I choose everytime I build a site.

    • Seemed pretty positive to me. You just don't agree with his response. There is a difference.

  • Wordpress is a very good blog format and it is alsoo good for seo i also use it my website.
  • WordPress is more flexible and can be easily customized with support of lots of plugins and themes. The availability of huge resources simply reflects the popularity of the platform.
  • All of my blogs have been built using the wordpress platform. Lot of the top marketers use wordpress as well...
  • Wordpress.org!
    Because it is Flexible and has a lot of plugin

    • Flexible because, you can use your own hosting, you can create a professional looking website.

      But if you need just a blog then blogspot. ranks good I would say.

  • WordPress is always better to use. It is more comfortable than any other CMS. As you have used it for many years, I should advice you to continue with this CMS. In blogger, you may have some advantages in SEO to rank on Google. But, many popular blogs that have used WordPress also ranked on the search engine. So, as you have enough experience, you should continue with WordPress.
  • Wordpress is most user friendly, but if you are looking for an better option, go for Joomla or Drupal.
  • I typed in http://www.cnn.com/wp-admin and that didn't work. You sure it's a wordpress?

      Yes, CNN is running Wordpress on their blogs (only on their blogs).

      Try this URL for their Admin. login on one of their blogs.

      The Admin login URL redirects...

      You can look at that same CNN blogs HTML source code & also see they're running WP.

      More CNN blogs running WP.
  • I personally like WP, is best. I think people prefer to add WP blog to their site.
  • I have used both wordperess & blogger. but i found wordpress is much better than blogger.

  • If you have your own hosting then go for wordpress or else blogger.
  • I would recommend wordpress especially since you're already using it and know all the details and features it offers
  • Go for wordpress..it will be best one for you.

    LMAO at the Blogger/WP rant.

    It's like comparing a shovel to a backhoe.
  • I am using Wordpress for more than 5 years now. It is my top choice because of its ease and customizing abilities. Themes and Plugins are best on Wordpress.

    • thanks, i don't think google can freeze blogger use..... its so much popular


      so far concern with loading, its proportional to number of plugin used

      thanks
  • Wordpress is the best blog format. It's easy to customize and lot of plugins are available in wordpress.
  • As per me wordpress is best because of it's ability to do on-page SEO with help of plugin like yoast. This feature is not available in blogger,plus with the facility of all those plugins sky is the limit. However, this is also true that if you use blogger chances are that blogger will rank higher with the same keyword, even if it does not have those many backlinks, reason? You know it . Now to conclude, I would still recommend wordpress, as in blogger you may mess up your onpage SEO, however in Wordpress there is absolutely no chance that you will miss on anything. Plus now if you have a good content with wordpress, you will get so many likes, and you will easily be able to make an authority in your niche.

    Hope this helps Shiv? All the best.
  • Well I will never create any of my blogs on Blogger.com because I know some people (some are my friends) had created their blogs during months and suddenly their accounts are banned and blogs are deleted, no warnings, I always build websites on my own hosting, so there will be no such issues, no one can delete them or no one can take them back! My car my petrol is better than anything else
  • I'll go for Wordpress also. It is customizable, user-friendly and you can use a plugin which not need a hard coding. It's just an install and activate :-)

  • I am afraid why you are thinking for migrate wordpress to blogger . I hope you are using Self hosted wordpress. I never think to run a blog in Blogger. When we think to start a blog we may decide to start with blogger, because its free. But later most of them shift blogger to wordpress. Blogger have lots of fetures, but while comparing blogger and self hosted wordpress i always votes for WP
