I don't want to hijack the intent of this submission too much, but I am really curious about a question burning on my mind. I can't help but notice the sheer number of WordPress mentions on HN and other sites lately, and while a paranoid part of me wonders if this is something of a marketing blitz, I want to try to get an unbiased opinion:
Is WordPress the way to go these days for blogging?
How does it compare to Blogger? What other reasonable options are there, and how do they compare?
Edit: And how does it compare to posterous?
- CyrilMazur 16y agoI don't know much about Blogger, but as it's a SAAS, how customisable is it? Can you host your own PHP pages, can you do really what you want with the theme? I think there are differences to consider between hosted blogs and blog scripts you can actually install on your own server and customise the way you want. Am I right?
- tariq 16y agoyou're correct. the differences between wordpress and blogger are vast. you've mentioned the big ones already. blogger is... - easy to setup - hard to customize - limited in terms of features / plugins (if any) - hosted as a service
