Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've heard many recommendations for Wordpress, and I can't speak for or against it, but I think Blogger is very user-friendly. I've had my blog for 2 1/2 years and haven't had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I switched to Blogger about 2 years ago b/c I could edit my own html. (I don't know if Wordpress lets you do that now for free or not.) I think Blogger is more popular. That being said, I think Wordpress may offer more templates; I think some of the Wordpress templates are sharper than Blogger's. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 and if I can use it, then it must be easy. I went to look at Wordpress and the beginning page confused me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I have both. I use blogger more but I have two at Wordpress and really like the templates and options. You can check mine out in my siggy and it will give you an idea of what I use them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptwoman Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm not sure if Wordpress does this, but Blogger allows you to submit posts via email which could be handy if you are travelling. I like Blogger because of the ability to play with the HTML but if you just want a simple blog then either is excellent and I think Wordpress's standard template are a little nicer than the standard blogger ones.

Georgiana Daniels Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I agree that Wordpress's templates are a bit nicer than Blogger. However, I tried Wordpress and never could get comfortable with it so I'm sticking with Blogger. Very user friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks for your replies and opinions, everyone! We're headed to the Maritime Provinces at the end of August and I'd like somewhere to compile a sort of online travel journal. I"ll have my laptop and my BlackBerry with me so I figured a blog would be the best place to keep it all together. All Best, Astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
