Is this my title?

Some months have passed, and I am finally starting this "real blog" thing. The first order of business? Choose a provider, of course! The two contenders are WordPress and Blogger.

Impressions so far:

  • WordPress is faster - so far, noticeably so. This might have to do with the php back end rather than pure html that blogger seems to post.

  • Blogger, unlike WordPress, allows you to edit any of the HTML/CSS of your posts. WordPress charges $15 for the priveledge. Not cool.

  • Wordpress interprets any html in standard editing mode. Excellent. It also has categories - something that I would find very useful given what I'm going to blog about - and something that I don't think Blogger has.

  • Blogger proofs your HTML when you post. Wordpress doesn't..
