Uhhh weebly is driving me NUTS as a blogging tool. It's easy to use and fun for creating and maintaining a website like my londonmabel.com. So for my music blog I decided to use it, so I could have a blog about lyrics, but also lots of other pages about music I listen to and recommend, since I like writing about music so much. You can have other pages on blogger, but they're one-post pages. Like, and About page. Whereas on weebly every page can be a blog. Or I could have a page full of photos, another with RSS feeds, etc.
Meanwhile I was thinking of trying out Wordpress for the first time since 2007. When I first decided to blogging I did my usual thing... I created a blog on 4 or 5 sites, and decided which was the nicest and easiest to use. I remember finding Wordpress unintuitive or something. And I've noticed over the years that people with Wordpress tend to have unattractive blogs, unless they're professionals.
But in my recent blog research I keep finding that it's The Blog Program To Use, and I wondered why. Well I realized it's opensource. Ahhhhh, je comprends. That means what you can do with it is probably HUGE. Like run a forum maybe? That would also explain why I would hear about people running into Wordpress issues--cause I guess you're using bits and pieces from all different programmers.
So because of its versatility, I would consider moving my biggest blog, mabeltalk, over to Wordp. But I'd have to go build a ghost site first and see if I could make it LOOK nice. If not, forget it, I'm otherwise very happy with blogger, and they add new features all the time.
BUT. Now that weebly is ever-frustrating me, maybe I should consider migrating my music blog instead. We'll see. Gotta try the baby out first. See if, as a website tool, it's less annoying--or at least equal work--as weebly.
I used to not want to switch these things because it would change my address. But this is the only blog now that isn't a .com address. And I don't intend to change Trivial Buttonhole. When I'm writing casually I want no stress, and this is no stress! I loves you blogger, I really do.
