Stefan, hi,

I agree – Blogger is definitely easier for complete beginners and I often recommend it to people who are absolutely brand new to blogging.

Quite a few people I know start a blog on Blogger and once they get up to speed with everything they often start a second blog on WordPress.com.

The beauty of both Blogger and WordPress.com is that you can mess everything up and just start again. That becomes a bit of a pain when you’ve put a lot of design effort into a self-hosted blog

Thanks for dropping in,

Cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,
I saw you mentioning this thread on the warrior forum.
Great post. Like you mentioned, both platforms have their advantages and disadvantages, but sometimes we tend to forget that there’s always a difference in “difficulty level”.
Being a Wordpress expert myself, I do not recommend it to absolute beginners. Blogger is in my opinion so much easier. And you can do some pretty things with it as well.
Thanks for “listening” to my humble opinion.
Cheers,
Stefan

Thank you so much. I started on Blogger because that is what I discovered first last year but this gives me a lot more distinctions on the two platforms. Great!

I am very impressed with your comments about linking to your self-hosted site with your wordpress.com and blogger blogs., how cool.

I made the transition from Blogger to Wordpress about 4 years ago when I realised that I didn’t have anything backing up my blog and all my wise writing. What would happen if it got lost?

I self-host and use the backup plugin and have confidence now that my writings are preserved and saved and under my control.

Yes – I’m afraid WordPress.com blogs don’t accept code, forms or anything like that.

But you’ll be fine with self hosted WordPress – you can do what you like with that.

Glad the article was helpful,

Cheers,

Martin.

great article and relevant to what I am doing. I have a Blogger blog (with Adsense and affiliate marketing) but like many of the features of the Wordpress blog. I set up a WP blog and tried to ad affiliate marketing and WP would not allow me to add the code (it nuked it as I was trying to save it).

I am now going to continue with the WP blog but convert it to hosting it on GoDaddy so that I can have more control over it (add affiliate marketing and adsense).

thanks for the article. bradmcleod
