Blogger v. WordPress

Evaluating weblog platforms.


Actually, I was signed into Google Reader and thought the gray bar across the top was WordPress, so here I am now on Blogger an hour later.... with another blog, and another other blog (JohnScout). Talk about a time sink! With so much clutter across the big wide web, the variety of options can be overwhelming.
  • Basic tools--platforms, widgets, wedgies & wonderbar

  • Presentation--style; does form follow function? go encyclopedic (everything and the kitchen sink) or zen simplicity.

  • Purpose--and of course this last should be first. It's the "so what?" question. What is my purpose in undertaking this task? By what results will we judge success?? What time is lunch???

So OK. Let's play a bit. Try new things. Test the limits. I think maybe I'l make a quesadilla for lunch today instead of my usual Progresso.
