Blogger or WordPress?
These are the two biggest blogging platform online. Both have their own pros and cons. Until this time, arguments exist as to which blogging platform is better. When I was just starting in blogging, I was using Blogger. It was easy to set up and you can start right away. However, I wanted to learn WordPress because I am preparing for the time that I may be assigned in managing the website of our office (government). I have learned that Wordpress is the acceptable platform for government websites.
I was able to set up my site after purchasing a domain and hosting package. It was difficult at first considering that I am not an IT, but with the help of my Facebook friends, and with some online videos as a guide, I have successfully set up my site and started writing.
How about you my friends, what blogging platform do you prefer to use?

@ARIES1973 I completely agree with you. My friend started a blog where is currently sharing about her recipes and she is doing quite well. I think that the subject matter also counts

@Nawsheen Actually, I have made some considerable amount from other sies that I have. But those are not related to writing or blogging. I am earning from other activities, such as task-based jobs and call reviewing. But I really want to learn the skill of blogging because I believe that this is one f the best ways to have passive income.

@ARIES1973 Good for you, because maybe you are tech savvy. I am not, that's why I am just in writing sites.

@ARIES1973 Your profile link brought me to bitlander's but not your site. I'm not sure if you meant it to do that or not?
Never heard of the site until now. Seems interesting! Things? What things?

Hi @Bluedoll! As of now, I temporarily set aside my own blog to give more focus on Bitlanders and I am enjoying the site. Bitlanders is also using wordpress platform. It is a good avenue to learn things related to blogging.

Sorry.l I do not have any site. I am totally dependent on other sites. Of course, I never gave a serious thought to it.

That is okay. Writing for other sites is also a good thing to do. You can earn from this activity and at the same time a good way to spend time. Thank you for dropping by!

@jobelbojel - Thanks for dropping by. I also joined some revenue sites but all of them were gone. I lost several hundreds of dollars on some and gain from others. I am concentrating in blogging as of the moment.

For blogging I use blogger and love it. It is easy to go into and easy to correct mistakes. I had Worpress once for a web and did not like it and had something else and did not visit my web much. When I do blog I send it to different places so I prefer that.

Blogger and WordPress are both good platforms. Our preferences may vary depending on our needs. With Blogger, we can edit the them that we chose to have as long as we have enough knowledge of HTML. Thank you for dropping by.

Yes, Blogger is a good platform. Choosing a good blogging platform depends on our preferences. One of the reasons why I stopped when I first started was due to lack of time. When I found a good online work, I decided to concentrate on it first so that I would be able to earn some amount.

I'm new with this online job thing so most of what they could offer is too foreign for me. Willing to learn though. If someone could point to sites like postloop or mylot, it would be very much appreciated.

Hi @Neiltarquin Being in myLot is probably one of the best ways to start. You will learn a lot of things from here. Just drop in your question so that anybody can give you a light on the matter. If you have a question about blogging, then probably you can ask a specific question. I'm sure you won't regret once you learned about the different sites, strategies and other necessary things related to online working. The benefits are great. Have a wonderful day!

@Neiltarquin You can try HubPages. One of the oldest sites and they are paying well. As for me, I am focusing on developing my own blog. I am a member of this site but I am not active at this time.

I had recommend and prefer Self hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) to other CMS and bluffing platforms because it gives you full control and ownership of your website and flexibility to customize to your taste.
Not just, WordPress is not just a Blogging platform as it can power about 18 different categories of Website, and I also use it for my client's project.
