When I first started blogging a quick and dirty comparison between WordPress and Google's Blogger showed that I could create a blog with Blogger without buying a manual and dedicating hours of internet research. The same could not be said of WordPress.
- WordPress is a tool kit that appeals to the professional blogger and graphic artist because of the infinite amount of tweaking that can be done to the blog with the tool kit.
- Blogger allows you to do things quick and dirty.
- To publish your WordPress blog to the internet you must have a domain or you can buy one from WordPress.
- Blogger will give you a domain for free.
- A cottage industry has sprung up around WordPress offering templates that can be purchased and downloaded if you are not familiar with creating your own.
- Blogger seems to have less of a marketplace feel with many free templates available for the searching.
- WordPress requires some free software installation.
- Blogger requires nothing more than a connection to the internet and an internet browser.
- WordPress blogs are not indexed for searches automatically by Google. You must add code to aid Google finding your blog.
- Guess which blog tool gets automatically searched by Google? Your blog using Blogger, as part of the Google family, is automatically indexed to be searched by Google.
