Is a Wordpress or Blogspot a better place to host your blog?

The fee is ONLY if you want to add and change a blog-wide CSS file. (I pay it, and it’s only $15 a year – a little bit more than a paperback book, so what the heck?)

If you don’t add a blog-wide CSS file, you can easily get around it by adding INLINE CSS here and there to your blog entries. Like, enter your blog entries in HTML with

And you could even surround parts of your blog entries with

(I did that for awhile, but figured the $15 would be worth it, to save me some typing: I’m a lazy cuss.)

I would recommend Wordpress over Blogspot any day of the week. (I’ve tried both.) I rewrote my entire Blogspot template. You could do that, if you want the ULTIMATE control, but you’ll have to dig down in Google’s convoluted help files to learn their XML.

Support? Blogspot:0, Wordpress FTW

Control panel? Wordpress FTW

Oh, and check the “static pages” you can add to Wordpress. Won’t find those at Blogspot!

there are a lot of widgets that you can add to wordpress.
blogspot is kind of outdated now.

If you want full control over your content, advertising, and customization… Self-Hosted Wordpress is the best choice.

Blogspot and Wordpress.com have too many restrictions, and neither are good for SEO.
