Now Blogger's "upgrading" things too, with a new (more embedded, less intuitive) dashboard look. I don't know about you, but whenever a social media change is announced, I stubbornly keep things the old way for as long as possible. Because I don't like change unless I choose it! All this does is delay the inevitable, but hey, it gives me more time to be the boss of me. And that's always a good thing.
I can totally see why so many people prefer Wordpress over Blogger. Wordpress has a bunch of cool features that Blogger doesn't. I've remained with Blogger though, because when I tried Wordpress, it seemed like more work. In my not-so-humble opinion, Wordpress's dashboard isn't as obvious or visually appealing as Blogger's WAS. With the old Blogger dashboard, all the options were right there, side-by-side.
Not anymore.
Now Blogger's dashboard is more like Wordpress's. Which makes me think that maybe I should go ahead and make the switch.
Have you switched blogging platforms? Are you considering it?
THANK YOU! I haven't been blogging lately adn I opened it up and thought... "Wha...." I was confused and felt like an octogenarian trying to use their new Jitterbug phone.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started my blog, I went to Wordpress because I knew about them (which is something since I was Hardly Ever Never in the blogosphere). I couldn't figure out how to do anything and tried blogger. I had a (fabulous) blog in like 8 minutes with everything just the way I wanted. Later, I thought I'd change it a bit. So, I took 2.6 minutes and did.
In this New and Improved template, it took me like 15 minutes to figure out where the hell to put in the post title -- because, you know, rigth at the top of the post is too obvious and easy and must be changed to be in a netherworld up by the address bar.
But, I persevere (:
