When starting out this blog, I came across Wordpress from this post in Daily Blog Tips. Anyway, as a newcomer to blogging I stuck it out with Blogger. Curiosity about Wordpress did not end there however.
Worpress sites are much more versatile, judging from the hundred of themes available online. See here and here. Many are free but some are professionally designed and come at a price.
Fascinated with how much better my blog will look like, I got a free Wordpress blog in Wordpress.com. I had confused this with Wordpress.org which caters to publishers who (will) have a separate host for their content. For hosting in another site, you need an FTP program to transfer your content.
After having registered my new blog, which is just a mirror of my Blogger blog, I then went for several days to research on free Wordpress themes online, only to find out that I cannot use them at the Wordpress.com site. Also, I haven't found yet a Google adsense widget which can make my blog earn money.
Some cool widgets though are Top Posts and Calendar, which I'd like to have in Blogger.
Overall, if one is really serious into blogging and its better aesthetics and wouldn't mind paying for a host, then I'd really recommend using Wordpress.
I like this post,contains a lot of informative facts about blogging. Keep it up!
