Since about April I have been blogging on WordPress. I even took the time to dish out $18 for my Wordpress hosted domain name, another $100 for Wordpress premium, and $75 for a premium theme. Life with WordPress was good for many months, and then last night it happened...
Don't get me wrong, WordPress is a fairly good blogging platform. With that being said, it can be difficult to navigate at times for the blogger and you are constantly hearing about all of these great plug-ins only to find out they may only be gained with some degree of difficulty. I have already paid out almost $200 and I just do not feel like I have gotten my money's worth from them. Granted, some of this may be due to mistakes that I made at the start of my blogging journey.
However, once I discovered Blogger I was instantly in love. Not only is it easy to navigate but the integration with all of the other aspects of Google + make for a much more comprehensive blogging experience. Not to mention an added benefit of Blogger is that since it is Google's platform it ranks higher in pages.
In conclusion, WordPress, its not you, its me. We had many good months together and I will still come back to visit but I feel the spark that was there when we first met is no longer there. It is for this reason (along with my other gripes about WordPress) that I am converting over to Blogger.
