B. Which is Better - Blogger or Wordpress?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Blogging is very popular today. The two main blogging
platforms are blogger.com and WordPress. The platform that
will work best for you depends on many factors. Learning the
advantages and disadvantages of each will help you make that
decision.
Blogger allows you to put up a blog quickly and easily.
There is no need for you to have a website or a domain name.
Blogger hosts the blog for you.
Registration is free and takes only minutes. Once you are
registered, you can immediately begin to set up your blog.
Templates are provided for you to use and can be easily
changed at any time to give your blog a new look.
When you add a post, you simply name it and, if you have a
website, link it to your site so visitors can easily visit
your site by clicking on the title.
Type in your text and preview it to be certain it looks
good. Then publish it. Your blog is now live.
If it’s this easy, why would you not simply choose Blogger
and be done with it?
When you get done posting, you need to ping your blog. Let
blogging networks know you have just updated your blog. You
can do so by going to Pingomatic.com and entering the name
of your blog and the URL address of your blog. Click on the
websites you want to ping and you’re done.
If you don’t take time to ping, there’s a good chance no one
will find your blog. This pinging is not hard, but it is an
extra step you need to take when you post, unless you are
posting for just family and/or friends.
The fact that Blogger is hosted at Blogger also means they
can delete your blog at any time. You don’t have total
control over your blog. Chances are this will not happen,
but it does tend to make many marketers worry a bit.
WordPress, on the other hand, is hosted on your hosting
service. You use your domain name and the WordPress blog is
in it’s own folder. You have total control over your blog.
Once setup, it is very easy for you to post to it. You go
into the administration area and write a post. When you are
finished, you click to publish it. If you have setup
WordPress properly and have listed auto posting at
Pingomatic, your post will automatically be pinged to the
blogging networks. You do not have an additional step.
There are also many templates for you to use and it is
possible to configure these templates to fit your needs.
Once again, you have more control.
However, WordPress can be a little complicated to install
and, to take full advantage of it, there are many different
plugins you will need to install as well. This can be a bit
of a daunting task and something you might not want to be
bothered with.
You do have to have a domain name and you have to have web
hosting set up. These costs may limit the number of
different blogs you might want to publish, whereas Blogger
allows you to make as many blogs as you want on different
subjects and you never pay anything.
Some people have blogs using both platforms. You need to
weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each and make your
decision accordingly. The best way is to dive in and give
it your best shot.
Here are the links you’ll need to check each one out.
