Why I’m Leaving Blogger

Posted on Tuesday, 17 January 2006, 07:14
  • I am tired of Blogger. It has been seeming more and more limited lately.
  • Tweaking Blogger’s template is a pain.
  • I wanted to be able to categorize my posts.
  • I’m suspicious when I get something for free, which Blogger is. What does Google get out of it? Of course, WordPress is also free, but there’s some work in putting this thing together.
  • I wanted my own web address. Call it vanity. I wanted to lose the “blogspot.”
  • I wanted a new toy. I now have several: server space, my own e-mail, WordPress, Fetch (for FTP), MarsEdit (for posting–I happen to like typing my own HTML). Just getting the blog templates to my liking should consume hours, days and weeks. Geek. Anybody know a good HTML tool for Mac?
