The Benefits of Blogging With WordPress
from: Deb St. George - WonderRanchPublishing.comWhen you are brand new to the world of blogging and operating on the most threadbare shoe strings money can buy it is very tempting to begin blogging with Blogger. In fact, many people do simply because you can monetize a Blogger blog right away. However, if you can at all afford to purchase a domain name and web hosting it is a good idea to begin the blogging process with WordPress and never realize the heartache of losing volumes of data while trying to switch later on. Many, many, many bloggers eventually make the painful decision to switch from Blogger to WordPress somewhere along the way.
In case you are wondering why they often choose to make this monumental switch, the answer is simple: benefits. There are actually quite a few benefits to using the WordPress blogging platform over blogger.
1The toys! It may sound a little bit unprofessional but there are many more toys, templates, widgets, and tools available for the WordPress user. While some of the toys are simply a lot of fun to play with, most of them have very real applications and benefits to bloggers. In other words, these toys impact profit and having them can help you make more money than trying to muddle through without them.
2Template options. In the world of business you want to be set apart from your competition. This is difficult to do with Blogger blogs that have a rather limited set of options when it comes to templates. The real beauty of many WordPress templates is that they are free. There are quite a few extras you can have if you are willing to pay for them though and some amazing resources for templates available online.
3Control. Face it. Some of us are control freaks. WordPress gives you more control over your blog than Blogger does. When it comes down to it, this is the dividing line for those who hate Blogger and those who love WordPress. Some people are willing to live with the limitations of Blogger because it is easier to use while others prefer the wider range of options available through WordPress. The price you pay for that control is the need to learn a little more before diving right in and purchase your own hosting and domain. It's a small price to pay, really, for the benefits of working with the WordPress blogging platform.
The decision to go with WordPress from the very beginning is not made by everyone. This is evidenced by the fact that there are so many Blogger blogs already with a steady supply of new blogs created on the Blogger platform daily. In the end, you are the one who will need to decide whether you are a Blogger blogger or more comfortable with the WordPress platform to get your message across. Many people are leaving Blogger behind each day for the promise of a better blog with WordPress. So, what kind of blogger are you?
