I’m thinking of using w.blogger due to its ease of use.The default wordpress editor to put it simply slows down productivity.

This feature has been around for some time, Google have just rephrased it because the previous Blogger help page didn’t read as clearly.

I recently ran a post on the 9 main things wrong with Blogger, which are slowly but inexorably forcing me to move towards a hosted platform, which will in all likelihood be WordPress…

Thilak,

Do you use the wordpress editor or do you use a third party editor like w.blogger or something like that?

Yeah Lawsy, WordPress need to allow users to use their own CSS and stuff like that, they can’t keep going behind money for everything.

I’ve always thought of WordPress being the better more feature rich blog tool. Which it is, however on WordPress.com it lacks the functionality that I would need to switch from my own self-hosted WordPress installation.

The new features on Blogger; specifically the new template editor will coerce many bloggers who don’t know how to manage their own host to use Blogger. This new feature enabling bloggers to ditch the *.blogspot.com address is only a good sign for users as it means their is big competition between the big blogging providers. Namely, wordpress.com and blogger.

Rishi: Your talking about FTP publishing, this is something new. Any blogspot blog can be moved to its own domain name without any trouble like installing or moving SQL DBs

Anirudh: I agree with you, That’s exactly why I was tempted to try WordPress two years earlier.

any red blooded blogger if he/she has the cojones to buy a domain, would use wordpress and I never liked blogger due to sheer lack of functionality

I think it was from a long time back because I used to have it for my class’s website blog!

But its an awesome tool – now I think Amit sir can lift up his blog to a domain !
