Blog therapy
My blog (LM) needs a therapist. It’s true, she told me so.
LM recently began wondering if she was meant to be a Blogger blog and not a Wordpress blog. She feels like she’s a Blogger mind trapped in a Wordpress body and she needs help.
She thinks that if she were a Blogger blog that I would dress her up more. Wordpress is nice, but it’s sooooooo much work, especially for me since I’m a self-taught web designer and I still don’t understand most of what I’ve accomplished.
Maybe if LM was a Blogger blog, she would get a facelift every few months like she wants.
But, I don’t necessarily want to make the switch if I can’t import LMs previous posts. We have a long history together and I can’t just toss that history aside.
And, what if I switch her over and then I can’t do as much designing with Blogger as I thought??
Anyone know a good blog therapist? LM needs help. Badly.
Jess –
Having worked on both platforms, I find Blogger to be far more user-friendly. I was five years removed from studying Web 1.0/SQL/HTML3 in grad school when I ran a Wordpress blog; just far enough to be out of the loop with the newest tags, XHTML, etc., and petrified of the SQL backups that were required every time that I had to re-load the software.
Blogger blogs even allow you to point to your own URL…. I just haven’t seen an option that allows you to import old posts. I particularly love integrating my Blogger blog with my Google reader!
Good luck!!

Blogger is free, dude! Make a blog and see if you can customize it as much as you want. Play around with it. If you don’t like it, delete the blog. All it will cost you is a little time.
