I have moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress – and I am amazed of the richness, flexibility and looks.
The main reason that pushed me from Blogger was my need to have pages – static page structure that allows me to have articles and other static pages, not in a blog concept. There are some things that simply do not fit in a blog.
On the other hand, I got addicted to the ease of posting and management in a server-side platform like Blogger. Its very easy to add a post, no need to deal with HTML, cross-linking, correct URLs, etc. Once you get used to it, its very hard to go back to building a site from scratch.
WordPress is amazing. The themes are gorgeous, infinite plug-ins, rich control – the site is PHP based, and you can add your own functionality.
Here are some of the goodies I am already using.
- QPwilm theme – with some more tweaks
- Search Pages plugin – allows search inside pages, not only posts
- Sticky Menus plugin – allows customizable menus all over the place
- WP-Table plugin – allows creation and management of tables through WP admin
- Exec-PHP plugin – allows pasting PHP code as part of the post, which gets executed on render time.
So far – so good!
