I have a blog on beauty with Blogger and think its fantastic, I have a premium template that I got for free, there are loads of tutorials to help you make them look professional etc

I hate wordpress it is so complicated compared to Blogger, also Sagitarius is wrong, for your blog to be visible you need to one have a good blog description so search engines can find it and also good quality content. My blog is very new and all my pages rank and can be found easily through search engines. Also meta tags are a must if you want traffic!

I am seriously considering making a blog on bonsai [ growing, maintenance, progression ]. Well its already created, just not yet populated.

I blog mostly in Kreol. My main blog is Sagitarianblog but I have 6-7 other blogs- some of which are presently offline for redesign. I started a blog in English, BloggerSagitarius earlier this year, but there are few posts as I'm still testing different Wordpress themes.

I'm too busy to blog but I think it's a good thing as you get more independent opinions from bloggers than in the news.

On a side note, I think every member on this site can blog (write articles) once they reach Level 2.

I want to know what is best to use:blogger,wordpress or tumblr

Sagitarius

Wordpress offer more possibilities. There are about 180 free templates plus a few premium ones. Most of those templates are customisable in many ways (header, background, layout, etc) There are so many possibilities that you might take months to discover them all.

Blogger is simpler and less versatile. There are only about 10 free [dull] templates available when you create an account- though you can buy and install others later. You can't have a static page: the latest posts are arranged in a long scroll-down list. Although Blogger is connected with Google it is not as Search Engine friendly as Wordpress.

I've never used Tumblr. As I understand it is much like Blogger but i meant for shorter posts- a bit like tweets.

My experience tells me that Blogger is more search engine friendly. I have a paid blog on wordpress and the user interface is not that useful despite nice themes and hundred of apps. Everyone has his own concept of user friendly interface. I choose blogger.

Sagitarius

It may be different for paid blogs. But I've operated three [free] blogs on Blogger for some time and they were practically invisible on the web. Two of them could be accessed only by typing the exact URL or by Google Account login. The third one did appear on browser search but in a very discreet way.

I have a friend who has two blogspot.com blogs and he has the same problems. I can visit his blogs ony when he put links on Facebook. On browser search, they are invisble. When I was operating Blogger and Wordpress blogs concurrently I received more than 10 times more visits on Wordpress.

I agree, the user interface of Wordpress requires more work. But it's not that difficult. The Drag and Drop dashboard of Blogger is simpler; I did mention something like that.
My friend stays on Blogger precisely because of it's simplicity. He has a blog on poetry and another on his computer sales and repair business. Both blogs receive at most 30 monthly visits. For poetry it doesn't matter, but for the other blog ............

For wordpress how can I include an html code?And how can I change font?I can see that this is available only if I pay for it.Also their are some features available with some themes and not with others.

Sagitarius
Sagitarius Level 2

Yes, the different themes don't offer same degree of customization. On the dashboard [upper right] you can switch between Visual and HTML.

Actually I want to add a widget and its having html codes to add it and I cant understand how to do it.

Sagitarius
Sagitarius Level 2

To add a widget, open the sidebar, then drag and drop the widget in it.

To add an image in a sidebar, drag and drop an Image widget--> upload the image to Media [Add New]--> in Library click Edit--> Copy the File URL--> go back to the widget and Paste in the Image URL slot.

When you Save the dimensions should load automatically. If not, get them at Media/Library/Edit and enter them in the dimension slots. Other fields may be left blank.

Are you having a blog in this khush?I think wordpress is a bit complicated to use and some features are not available with the theme that I like.

Lever Lepep: great theme, almost as good as a Wordpress one...Never saw anything like that on Blogger, though.
I still have an unused blogspot.com account. Can you explain how to install that theme. I think I might export one or two Wp blogs to Blogger if I get a theme with that layout.

Sagitarius

Note this: Lever Lepep was absent on the first 10 pages of Google, Yahoo and Bing.
No results were found for leverlepep.blogspot.com with Yahoo and Bing. Google gave 1 result.

My reply of 15 Jul is now obsolete. Wordpress has just introduced a new Drag and Drop interface to add pictures.

It was already present when I was using it.

Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? I've tried every single free Wordpress.com theme in the past 2 years and I had not met this before last week. On Wordpress.com's blog the article on that subject is dated on 29 November 2012.

I write about web design, programming, internet marketing and SEO, you know the geeky stuff :D

There are 2 members which have personal blogs here that I know of (Sagitarius & Khush) but I'll leave it to them to disclose their blog address to you.

Do you blog as well?
