This April, I celebrate one year of my blogging. Also
this May, my blog will complete seven years of existence in Blogosphere. In
these seven years my blog has died and reborn thrice. At first it was called “scribbles”,
which had info from college and other places, then it became “thoughts that
matter not” and you know what it contained. Now the biggest and current avatar
is called shades of life.
What is to be noted is my love for the blogger. I know
that there are many who find other portals better but as the oldest blogging
platform, blogger has its own advantages.
1. Constant updates
and troubleshoots – in my seven years, I have seen this portal becoming
more user friendly if anything else. The google team is constantly updating the
system.
2. Easy manage
– For a brief time, I tried to export my blog to another portal. Maybe my
ignorance, but I found blogger easiest.
3. Wide range
of tutorial – When I actively began blogging, for a phase I felt I was on
my way to becoming techie. Blogger being one of the oldest platforms, there is
a wide database of tutorial available.
4. Response time – Blogger gained my ultimate appreciation
when I sent feedback once about my problem. My blog had become unlisted and it was sorted within hours.
Although there are few limitations with blogger, my
overall experience with blogger is thumbs up.

Blogger is a pretty good platform, but there are definitely limitations, especially for those who want to be in total control of their websites. It's certainly more flexible than the free version of Wordpress, in that you are allowed to use flash and javascript. :)

I agree Debbie!
DeleteB for Blogger - Lovely. Blogger is comfortable and convenient as Debbie said. However, I prefer WordPress more as a techie myself :P
ReplyDeleteThanks. I feel WP is for techies

DeleteI like Blogger but it's all I've ever used. However, when I visit WP blogs, I'm always impressed with the LOOK, but typically I run into problems with leaving a comment. That might be whatever template someone chose, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from A to Z ~
Even I have run into problems with WP
DeleteThe biggest USP of blogger is that it is free. All its features are non chargeable.
