Why I Chose Blogger over Wordpress

Posted in
WordPress is very feature rich, and the widgets and themes are very appealing. But the editor is awful. It takes out line breaks, and edits the HTML code. All its features can't compensate for the editor's flaws. So I decided I was done with WordPress. I tried out a few different blog engines, but none of them were what I needed. Blogger is the bare minimum of what I need. Its like WordPress, without all the widgets and themes and faulty editor. As you can see, my first post was the same Python tutorial on my old blog.

I wrestled with the WordPress editor for half an hour before I got it looking the way I wanted it. With blogger, I just type in the text in the WYSIWYG editor. Like WYSIWYG implies, What You See Is What You Get. The WordPress editor, though it is called WYSIWYG, is definitely not.

If WordPress comes out with an Update that fixes the editor problems, then maybe I will switch back to it. But for now, I will leave the WordPress blog as-is and just post to this blog.

Here is my old blog.
