I’ve followed (too) many blogs in the past couple of years. I have also created at least 5 or 6. Currently, I keep one updated…this one. Why this one? Because WordPress is better than blogger.
I was just visiting my brothers new blog, Daddy Can Cook, and tried to leave a comment. Just when I had quickly typed out my comment, lo and behold, one of those stupid word verifications come up. Ugh. Another three seconds more than I wanted to spend. Seriously. Why does Blogger have this? It makes me want to never leave comments.
Do I have any other good reason not to like it? Sort of. My husband is the main author on our Blogger blog, but every once in awhile I do. What drives me crazy is that it takes me about four minutes of clicking around from our blog page just to find the admin page. Since I have a baby, I never can remember these things, so every time I go back, I deal with the same annoyance. It sounds trivial, but it reminds me that I hate Blogger.
Here’s another thing: sometimes I follow other people’s blogs. All I want to do is put their feed in my Google reader, but sometimes it links it to my Blogger homepage. Weeks later I am wondering why I can’t find their posts in my reader. Why not? Because it put them into the feed on my Blogger page. So, again, I spend four minutes trying to find my blogger homepage just so I can delete it there and try to get it into the right place. Boo.
I like WordPress. It’s intuitive. It’s easy to use. It’s clear. They even have specialized blogs available to educators with protections on them. I used one with success for almost three years while I taught. You don’t have to type in annoying non-words just to leave a comment. Yay WordPress. I like you.
