Re: Poll: Blogger or Wordpress Blog? - I’ve tried Blogger before. Then I decided to “migrate” my blog to WordPress. But I’m still maintaining the blog at Blogger because I still can’t figure out how to add Google adsense scripts on my WordPress blog.
Re: Poll: Blogger or Wordpress Blog? - [quote:1oty75kx]Somewhere (maybe earlier in this topic thread?) somebody pointed out a difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, but I don't recall what the difference is.[/quote:1oty75kx] Wordpress.org is blogging software that you can use on your own host and domain to blog. It is what most people mean when they talk about Wordpress and it is also what most "wordpress blogs" are created with. You have full control with it. This is highly recommended. Wordpress.com on the other hand is sort of like blogger in that your address will be xxxx.wordpress.com and it stays hosted on wordpress. You can use your own domain but you still don't have full control of the blog. Basically using this is not recommended. I made that mistake with my first WP blog because I didn't know the difference and it got shut down for affiliate links.

Re: Alexa Ranking Goals - Hi David - what I usually do for my blog is write a series of posts in advance and then just post-date them so that they go live automatically on the right day. It`s a build in feature in WordPress and I believe Blogger has recently added the feature in as well.
