How does your Blogger blow?
I'm testing out WordPress, trying to decide if I'll permanently migrate People Get Ready. WordPress imported all of my Blogger posts remarkably efficiently. It took about two minutes to step through the import wizard. After that, WordPress churned through a year and a half of posts for about an hour. When it was all over, I discovered that the formatting was altered in Blogger, and that Blogger blocks it's images from being displayed outside of Blogger. That last detail alone pisses me off enough to want to switch, but I may be wedded to Blogger if I don't want to redo all the images on WordPress.
Why am I thinking about switching? I'm getting pretty fed up with delays caused by problems like these:

It appears that WordPress may not be as robust as I might wish. I'm also experiencing slow page loads, just as I have seen in Blogger.

I just started blogging and the only reason I made the jump was because of the relative ease of Wordpress. Blogger just has an AOLy feel to me. I just didn't think I had enough control. Guess I'm a control freak. Then a friend turned me on th Wordpress and I really liked.
Anyway, I recommend the jump. It's fun and easy.
Hon, Alan got me to switch from Blogger to WordPress months ago. Much easier to use and much less down periods.
I might have to take a look into wordpress. Blogger has really been crazy lately.
The *do* like the fact that you can edit the CSS in Blogger without paying a subscription, but I'm thinking now that it's worth it. I still may not make the switch because I want to have an archive out there, but I don't want to have to edit all the image.
Wordpress doesn't allow you to edit the CSS template. Kind of a dealbreaker

go here New Orleans and 'digg' this story to help keep the country focused on issues that they are all too happy to hide from or forget about.
I'm still testing, but I have to say, I may not be seeing errors on WordPress, but I am still seeing the kinds of slow page loads that I have seen in Blogger.
I pay for typepad, but that includes the hosting, and comparatively speaking of uptime, it's like comparing a VMS cluster to Windows 3.1.
I can't seem to post to your other site?
anonymous -- you should be able to post to the WP site. It's set up to take anonymous comments.
WordPress has some cool features, but I'm not a power user, so Blogger is Ok by me. For now.
Thanks for commenting on my blog, by the way!
What I do is just pay for some web space and upload the software onto that. It's my server so the page loads are never a problem. Costs about 10 bucks a month plus I get my own e-mail addys and I can edit any of the files I want. I also have webspace to upload music and video If I want.
