Blogger vs. WordPress?

WordPress wins.

Right.  So, as with any fantastical theater production, much has to happen behind the scenes before any successfull measure of anything.  My God, succesfull / sucessfull / successful is a difficult word to spell.  (FYI, it is composite of a double ‘c’, double ‘s’ and lone ‘l’.)

Recently, Blogger sent a really lovely ‘fuck you’ to those who use FTP something or other to publish to their own site.  I don’t know much of anything about anything, let alone the sociopath  to which we politely refer as ‘technology’, but I do know that what Blogger did was really rather mean and bullying.

FTP publishing, in Mahanese is simple: I used to use the software provided by Blogger – there, I would write up my little entries, press a virtual button, and Blogger would then take this entry and ‘push / publish’ it on to my onefemalecanuck.com immediately.  Easy.  Until they decided to delete this ‘push / publish’ heaven sent, because only .5% of their users utilize it.  ‘No Blogger Left Behind’ is not Blogger’s motto, it would seem.

Over the years, I have heard from every single one of my eight friends that WordPress is the way to go; that it is much more user friendly and intuitive.  Also, they don’t tend to ‘fuck you’ any writer, no matter how teeny tiny their world may be.

And so, I have moved here, and am typing this within the interface that is provided by WordPress.  Already, I like it more because it’s prettier.

I owe this transition to T, who very patiently answered all of my panicked (one ‘c’ and an additional ‘k’) rambly questions and concerns.  I am certain it helps our friendship a great deal that she has two very young daughters, and so the communications tricks she uses with them, she also uses with me.  For those of you unfamiliar with T, or would like to contact her re her exceptional website creations, please note that you may find her here.  (Thank you.  Love you.  Owe you.)
