[Pro] Blogger or Wordpress?

Does it matter who hosts?
Which is better?
And why?

Thanks

Blogger is hosted on blogspot.com. There is a way to futz around and get it on your own domain, and there was (and may still be) an Action to build a Blogger template using Freeway. But I always found it to be very restrictive.

A Wordpress blog can be run as a subdomain on wordpress.com or wordpress.org, and many third-party web hosting companies (including our very own Freeway-friendly ineedwebhosting.co.uk) have easy-install options for running Wordpress on your own domain. I have a number of different domains set up with this.

You won’t be able to make use of your Freeway abilities however, as a Wordpress site is built on the fly from multiple PHP page fragments and CSS files. It’s certainly possible to build a Freeway site, hack it to bits, and weave it into a Wordpress theme – it’s all HTML of course – but it’s not a thing that almost anyone would do willingly. :slight_smile:

As for which is better, in almost every respect Wordpress beats Blogger hands-down.

Although there’s nothing stopping you combining things and building your main pages in Freeway then install Wordpress in a folder/directory called “blog” and just use the blogging function of Wordpress. Then style the Wordpress theme like your Freeway site or visa versa.
