The debate was about Blogger and WordPress.com. :smile: Ashwini, Maybe I covered your points. But when writing a reason we have to write all points which will naturally cover few of the other points. If there were 50 points to differentiate blogger and WordPress, then I wouldn't have said the points which you have said. But since there are only few points available to say Blogger is better than WordPress, I had to cover almost all points and it had few that you said. I'm in no way related to Kevin or any others in this blog. I think I have made my point clear. :smile: Betshop Boy, I’m in the self-hosted WordPress.

My main reason for moving was downtime - blogger goes down, a lot. When it goes down, you can't publish. Additionally, making template changes BLOWS. When you make a blogger.com blog change, you must replublish your entire blog. That is all well and good if you are a hobby blogger, but my 1.5 year old blog had 11,000 posts on it, it took forever, when it actually worked. The other really crappy thing was how it actually saves files. Each blog post is an html page. My 11,005 blog posts, when I last backed up the blogger.com software based blog, took about 340mb of disk space when the FTP transfer was complete. I installed Word Press and started the import process. Those same 11,005 posts took less than 30mb of disk space because of the database backend of WP. Ontop of that, the software gets spidered faster, template changes are instant and I control everything. O yea, WP has a KILLER search function built right in, you'd think Google would figure that out and build it into Blogger.
