There are so many wordpress related posts here that you would be forgiven for thinking this was the official wordpress forum. Are there any users here who don't use wordpress or blogger for blogging? If you use some other script or blog host please do tell us about it by posting in this thread.
Looks like this thread got a few replies after all serendipity Ah but it does. From spam protection to plugins, themes and general ease of customization it really does matter what software you use. After all you don't do your word processing on notepad now do you?
I use LoveBlog - a mostly self-modified version of the earlier easymoblog/comoblog since several years with greatest success now LoveBlog has a maintainer because i love to share it with others. i get excellent traffic ( some 2k uniques / d on blog alone and also adsense pays excellent thanks to greate SEO resulting i good traffic
I fooled around with typepad and blogger, but couldn't resist wordpress. You'll get less spam messages with a non-WP blog, but that's really the only benefit I saw.
I somehow disagree with that statement, I would compare content with knowing how to drive and knowing how to teach other people how to drive a vehicle and a CMS with an actual vehicle. You see it doesn't matter (sometimes) that you know how to drive if you don't have a car, your knowledge then it's wasted, in this same way a great CMS or Blog system represents the vehicle, without a good one your content can sometimes be worthless. Wordpress is currently the best overall software for blogging or even (CMSs) full sites.
I used movable type and enountered headache after headache whilst attempting to customize my blog, I finally gave in and switched to wordpress and I couldn't be happier.
Well most of people here link Wordpess becaus eof great plugins and Blogger because of easy Adsense setup. Both are excellent for me.
