Blogger or WordPress?

I find I'm posing this question to myself on a regular basis. While Blogger (which also includes Blog*Spot) seems easier, easier can also mean "limited." I've always been a "switch to advanced options" kind of chick. It seems like WordPress offers more flexibility (hello, static pages!) -- except in the case of content. I'm not sure if their "no paid posts" rule applies if you use your own domain on WordPress.com (for another $10 a year!), but some of their rules would definitely hinder me. Now, there's always the option of using the software on my own webhost, but that just opens up a whole 'nother can of worms.

So I continue to be conflicted. That said, I intend to experiment with WP a bit, just so I can see what it's all about. Then maybe I'll be more willing to break out the can opener.

Go with Wordpress. ;) I found oodles of new templates (probably not "new" new, but new to me!) that I'm going to be testing out over the next couple of days. They're really purty!

If you can have a self hosted wordpress I'd say go for it. :) It's alot of fun!

Blogger is getting better it seems - but I'm sticking with my Wordpress. :) Hope it all turns out!

I agree! I keep hoping Blogger will catch up, but they're being soooo pokey about it. I've seen so many gorgeous themes for WP -- there just doesn't seem to be any downside.
