Wordpress vs. Blogger

  • In Wordpress you can upload pictures without going into a separate pop-up window.
  • Both allow tagging/labels, but Wordpress also allows posts to be categorized.
  • Both have a WYSIWYG editor and html editor.
  • Wordpress stores pictures allowing you to label them and send them into the post editor whenever you wish. In contrast, Blogger only allows you to upload pictures that relate to the post you are working on.
  • Wordpress supports Trackback and Blogger does not. Blogger uses backlinks.
  • Wordpress scares me since I've only ever used Blogger! But, it does seem like it has a lot more capabilities that would be useful if I felt I wanted that additional functionality.

I could see possibilities of WP being liked by the more 'techie' people, but I think Blogger is much easier for people just learning to blog.

And speaking of frustrations with technology - I wrote this comment yesterday and it disappeared into the internet black hole. But anyway, I like the option of having both WYSIWYG and html editors. You can go the simple route or you can go the more technical route. I've used both just this week; it allows more flexibility and freedom.
