Wordpress Vs Blogger

Been trying different things here and there to make my website a bit different and more user friendly. I kind of got bored with the old look (never really liked it anyway!!!). I was glad when I found this current template as I really like the new look it has.

I also changed the title from "Art-Devine-Slasher" to "Art By Nkolika Anyabolu M.D" which I feel is more appropriate and specific.

I feel the current look is simple and to the point. Still trying to figure out how to create a separate page that would point directly to my online art portfolio.

I find it annoying that it is easy to get here from my website but extremely difficult to get back without using the 'back' button. It has to do with creating a separate HTML file and all that, I will figure it out somehow I guess.

I have discovered that I find blogger easier to use in terms of making adjustments and manipulating the designs of a blog. WordPress is good but I am still to get a real hang of it. I recently updated my other blog An Artist's Musings which is hosted on blogger and I did not find it as frustrating as when I try to make adjustments here.

The Blogger interface (Dashboard) is very user friendly especially for non-IT savvy individuals like me who need the easiest option when trying to create a simple yet appealing website/blog.

Nevertheless, they (WordPress and Blogger) both have their pros and cons. They certainly have different feels and looks which I like too.

I was having a discussion about blogging with a colleague of mine the other day as we made our way to an engagement. I was thrilled to discover she was passionate about cooking and had spent the past 5 years reading other people's blogs.

I encouraged her to start a blog as it was easy to start one andFREE too!! As a matter of personal opinion, I recommended blogger to her for the aforementioned reasons.

Maybe in future, I would go into more detail about what I like and dislike in both.

I sincerely hope she takes up the challenge because I feel it is a worthy one and I am certain she would enjoy the experience.
