Thanks everyone

Buy rohypnol. Rohypnol buy online cheap generics and brand….

While surfing, I've gone across several nice and impressing WordPress templates/themes which really caught my interest to use it for my blogs only that I do not know how to install it despite of the instruction. I am not totally new in blogging but my time is pre-occupied with my career that seldom warrants me to be here. That's why, I am less updated and whenever I could have the chance to be here, I would immediately took advantage with my time to spend it on my blogs.

Is WordPress working and achieving great? Because I've found WordPress templates to be nice and are really beautiful ones. Probably I could be an avid user of WordPress e-products.

Keep up the good works and share more!

"Also, most blogspot blogs get PR3 in the first update, even with very little content. Example: my personal blog, which was a test blog setup 5-6 months ago has PR3 with just ~5 incoming links.(btw, I will be releasing that blog’s theme soon on TechZilo, so watch out!)"

you had a small blog but atleast you had some incoming links.

I had just backed up my blog at wordpress, and now it has PR of 3 without any external link{except wordpress}

I can assure you most WP.com blogs older than 3 months have a PR

"Has an active community of hackers like Ramani, Aditya, Deepak, Hoctro, Purplemoggy, Phydeaux3 etc."

Purple's left blogger, Ramani is sleeping,Hoctro has gone on a vacation,Phydeaux 3 have lost their charm.

I don't know Aditya Deepak

Most of the hackers round there try provide thos features already installed in WP

"You CAN remove navbar, according to labnol.blogspot.com"

labnol.blogspot.com doesn't own blogger

"Designers like Aditya sells unique killer templates, such beautiful ones for just $15, $20 and $25. how many wordpress themes (even .org) would you get for that amount?"

unless u r dumb

But in my opinion, WP is greater (and the self-hosted version is even better, has no limits!)

Keep the comments comming!!

I would say that its a very important aspect of any blog to have a layout and design that stands out from the crowd. Custom templates, while they can be professional, are often times used by a lot of different bloggers which makes your blog look cheap and, ironically, unprofessional. I think that besides having killer content you have to be able to tweak your layout enough so that you don't look exactly like the next "regular blog".

Having said that, blogger wins hands down. I have issues with blogger and personally I'd really like to migrate over to wordpress software on a dedicated server. But here we're discussing the free hosting services of wp and blogger, so because you have to pay in order to partake of wordpress's full capacity it kind of defeats the purpose of being free.

For me that's the only real reason why wp loses out. Forget adsense and everything else, if you can't customize your blog without paying, then give me blogger.

I still don't like the commenting system though.

No offense, but it'd be very easy to counter that argument by saying that 90% of the WP blogs out there use 1 out of 2 of the same boring themes. Overwhelmingly, nearly all WP blogs look the same!

All too often, WP blogs are 3-columns, with the content jammed into a claustrophobia-inducing little space on the left, with 2 more space-hogging columns of ads, widgets, and plug-ins eating up the whole right-hand half of the page.

Blogger blogs can have clean, professional, and sustantive designs too – it just takes some effort.

However, I'll certainly agree with you about Blogger's weak commenting system! Blech!

There is no contest. WordPress is FAR superior to Blogger for numerous reasons, some of which have been mentioned above.

I am an experienced website builder, having constructed my first by trial and error (and an HTML book from B&N) back in 1998. It grew and grew . . . I finally began blogging in March 2005. Being a neophyte, I signed up for Blogger.

I didn't get serious about blogging until late 2006 so I went to work hacking my Blogger blog. Then I wanted a better comment system, so I added Haloscan. I developed a loyal following.

Sadly, however, I learned the hard way that I should have used Word Press and my own domain name from the outset. The transition has been time-consuming and cost me links.

First, Word Press has far more flexibility in terms of creating static pages, editing timestamps (a must for someone like me who has a demanding career . . . I can't be sitting in front of the computer and hit "publish" at the optimal moment). I write my content on the weekends, tell Word Press when to take it live and go about my business. With Blogger, that is impossible.

Blogger's comment system is pitiful in comparison. I have the flexibility with WordPress to allow folks to subscribe to comments, preview and edit them, and can even invite new readers to subscribe to my feed on their first 3 visits. The top commentators for the month are rewarded in my sidebar. No need to have a pop-up window, as with Haloscan or Blogger. Plus, spam comments are trapped/blocked. With the Comment Relish plugin, my site automatically sends a personalized e-mail to new visitors who leave a comment. Sweet.

Here's yet another significant advantage: No trackbacks / pinging with Blogger. Yet another reason I needed Haloscan. I participate in Linkfests. It was a major pain with Blogger. WordPress automatically pings based upon embedded links. Or you can add trackback links at the bottom of your post. You don't need to look up a separate trackback link, either, because on WordPress the permalink is the same as the trackback link. Again . . . sweet.

And get this . . . Haloscan comments do not import into WordPress so I have copied and pasted some of them, but there is no way I am ever going to have time to recoup 22 pages (on Haloscan) worth of comments so they are lost. (I got back my prior Blogger comments, though it isn't an even trade.)

The formatting flexibility in WordPress is also remarkable and if you use Chris Pierson's themes, you can customize them but retain many fabulous features, such as the built-in photo/graphic formatting offered and pull quotes. All of those types of features required special Blogger hacks that I spent hours perfecting through trial and error. There are several plugins that allow you to incorporate footnotes (I use them all the time), tables, superscript, subscript, font colors . . . you can even toggle between full and normal screen mode while writing your post. And you have full html functionality so you can either preview the post the way your readers will see it or manage the html code right there in the WordPress window. Did I mention the emoticons?

Last night I downloaded plugins that allow me to backup my entire blog with 1 click. I can even program WordPress to do this regularly at a particular time and download the zip file to my hard drive. Also, I found a plugin that does not require me to unzip plugins — I can upload, activate and customize them right from the desktop, not to mention the new one-click WordPress upgrade plugin. NONE of these things are possible on Blogger.

Finally, I can tell the moment I pull up a Blogger blog vs. WordPress site. WordPress, irrespective of the theme employed, offers a more professional, clean, "finished" look than does Blogger. (Highly subjective point.)

That's about it . . . just off the top of my head.
