@tomstallbikes I would move to WordPress before you get stuck with a lot of content and traffic on Blogger.

I’m on Blogger.com and have found it fairly easy to use once you get used to it. Their set up used to be much worse but I think the organization of it is pretty self-explanatory now. Interestingly, when I posted articles for a guest blog on Wordpress, I found adding images more difficult on that site (I had problems with it interacting in an attractive way with the text). I guess it is all what you are used to.

The benefits of being on Blogger is that it is owned by Google so (in theory) it works more seamlessly with other Google-owned entities such as Feedburner, Google+ and Google Ad Sense.

Thanks Geoffrey, Kathy and Kristi for your input. I spent more time on it this afternoon and I think I am starting to understand the layout. But then again, this is coming from a guy who thought Facebook’s set-up was confusing and utterly time consuming to understand…I swear, that if it is not on a page in front of me spelled-out in print, I have a hard time figuring out the rhyme or reason for how to use these social media sites. I feel like an octogenarian who still hunts and pecks at a keyboard and as sure as I’m sitting here, still does not know what means to “point and click.”

There is a risk to Blogger in that if you develop a successful blog and google decides it does not like you… you do not have ownership and could be the big loser.Wordpress seems to have tremendous power and a community that is continually pushing the envelope for new tools…. and as the business evolves Wordpress will be at the front.I have a couple blogger blogs and the functionality is fine for my purpose but limited as to what Wordpress can offer.
