I Want Smileys
I want to give wordpress a chance, I really do but they are some things that Blogger has wordpress does not. It may seem trivial but to me it means the world and the same that goes with Blogger. With Blogger you can change the color of your written content but you can't (or I don't see it) on Wordpress. You can use the strikethrough line in Wordpress but not in Blogger. Wordpress is for a person who is a "power user" when it comes to blogging...I am not that person and that is why I have stuck with Blogger for a while.
I was about about to switch to wordpress but then I found out how to change my template and I stayed put...yet again. This time I may move again because of one "small" thing...I can't add emotions to my post on Blogger. I found (oh so I thought) different scripts so I can begin putting emotions in my post on Blogger. I tried it and maybe I didn't install it correctly. Maybe I will try it this weekend when I have more time. To be honest I'm happy with Blogger. I know you "power users" think Blogger is for wussies...well call me "mr. wuss". I see the pros like Todd Kelley, Fave, Anewlis, Nikki and others fix up their blogs and they are on point. Me, I just wanna post. If I learn a trick or two...sweet. ^_^ But for the most point, I just want it to work.
I'm pretty sure I can learn how to use the "strikethrough" line for Blogger down the road but why Blogger does not have the "smileys" code imbedded in there is kind of funky. I sometimes copy/paste the Yahoo emotions in my post and it's not really a big deal but what if someone wants to leave a comment and use a emotion in their response.

oh and blogger was my very first blogging platform! i'll always have love for them!
Hopefully, a day will come when one platform performs all tasks, but like you, I have been all over the place, with Blogger, Wordpress, and I even considered Squarespace until I realized they actually wanted me to pay for it lol. I'm really not that serious a blogger! Lol. If I had to choose, I'd definitely go with Blogger - sooo much more flexible than Wordpress. Honestly, the only reason I tried Wordpress to begin with, is because Blogger doesn't have an option for password-protecting posts, and I was feeling kinda private at the time lol. Nowadays, you can find me right here on Vox :-).
