    I find that blogger is nice because you can just click the "blog this" button to add something to your own blog that you like. I wish it was that easy with Wordpress. That's the only thing I don't like about Wordpress - that it's more cumbersome to add posts from other blogs to your own blog. That is, it's not as easy to socialize with other bloggers. Am I mistaken, or is this impression of mine not true? Is there an easy way to do this with Wordpress that I am not aware of?

    You can add a "blog this" link to your toolbar from within your wordpress control / admin panel

    If you use Firefox you can also use the Performancing plugin that will allow you to publish to your Wordpress blog from within your browser.

    But that performancing plugin also allows you to post to blogger, does it not?

    Regarding that plugin, does it allow you to network with other bloggers or just publish to your own blog?

    I guess I am confused. I see networking as an active process - a blogger interacting with other bloggers. Go out - read others' blogs - interact. Why is that dependent on which blog software one uses?
