Or why I am seriously re-thinking of moving this blog to wordpress. (WP)
I set this up before they started “custom domains” so use FTP, now emailing via Gmail a post to the blog is one good way of speeding up the “publishing” of the blog … always been a boon to FTP users.
But there are two ways to have images show in the post using Gmail to blog, either adding image icon in rich text format and uploading that way, or by attaching the image which will post it between title and content.
The problem is, the first way doesn’t seem to work for me, I have to manually go to blogger dashboard and add it using html!
The second way, the image shows ok like in the post below…but the image doesn’t show in the feed in a reader!
*sigh … hassle!
I have always been a blogger user, nothing will change that as I think blogger used with blogspot is still worth doing, using them for niche blogs or such works but I don’t seem to have “issues” this way, is that an intention? No idea!
I do know I always seem to have issues with this blog so feel I would be saving myself hassle by simple moving it to WP and learning more about WordPress itself, it does have some great advantages over blogger.
Then just using the blogspot I can keep on niche blogging, it’s costing nothing but time and effort aka WORK… or at a push if needed, a custom domain …in a way there is no point if I can use WP with it once I am ok with it.
I do look forward to blogger implementing new things and such, but wish it would hurry up in a sense so I can decide what I would rather do.
Thing is I could move it back to blogger if WP drives me nuts…
I would rather someone created a dashboard based on bloggers, with all the same and better functions blogger has, the template page etc to use as our own, that would be nice, publish right from the desktop to server.
So I am in two minds what to do at the moment, I want to revamp this blog anyway, change and improve it, even edit some of the older post to better SEO them and target the focus of the blog more.
Plenty of things I have done a shit job of on here, and plenty of things I have done right, so, it’s now sorting out the crap and getting rid of it, then improve and do more of what I got right … it really is no more no less than that. How we learn.
I am writing this for me from now on… that’s not dissing you the reader, I just have the experience and stats that tell me what I need to know and what I need to do.
Right now … blogger with this blog is getting on my nerves, and WP is looking more and more appealing!
