Decisions, Decisions
I have been thinking about this blog and the direction I want to take it in the future. I am considering a few things and all I have come up with is a lot of questions.
First, no, I am not quitting. If you think I should then you should think again.
I am thinking about changing over to WordPress. I think Wordpress has cooler and more templates than blogger does. But I have a few questions before I make the jump.
I am looking for some advice. I am looking for someone that has used both Wordpress and Blogger and that is willing to help me out with the switch (if I decide to make it).
But first the questions.
What are the differences between the two? Will I lose all of my older post? Can I still keep the same web address? Does blogger support wordpress templates? Will I have to get my own domain name? (I do this in my spare time so I don't want to pay for a domain name, mostly because I am cheap). Is it hard to work with wordpress? Will it be difficult to learn? (I tought my self how to put up all that stuff on the right so I am sure I could figure out wordpress if I had too) What, if any is the learning curve? (I would really not like to become a shut in while trying to learn wordpress)
In your opinion, which is better, easier, or takes the least time to manage? Will I have to spend hours and hours trying to get a post up? Is wordpress more customizable than blogger?
I don't know anyone that blogs on a personal level, (although I have made a few friends) so I have not heard any horror stories regarding Wordpress (or blogger for that matter).
Let me know if you have any, I would love to hear them. Or if you have used either blogger or wordpress in the past and why did you switch?
Would you recommend anything other than blogger or Wordpress?
I will be reading about Wordpress over the next couple of days but in the mean time. I would love to hear your opinions about the matter.
Or you could suggest some web sites that have some blogger templates that I could use. If I decide to not to switch.
UPDATE: If you think your comment might be too long for a comment you can go to my profile and email me from there.
Thanks in advance!
