Overview
Blogging
is a very wonderful venture today but many of us do not know its genesis. The
only thing which many people know about blogging is that it involves drawing
traffic to a site in order to make money. However, in order to be a good
blogger, it is important that you know the nitty-gritty of it including its
origin and also the processes involved in the act.
Ten
years ago (precisely in 2003), Google Inc acquired blogger.com which was also
known as blogspot.com. As a result of the acquisition, Google gave room for people to
develop content known as blog for the entire world to read. People had the
privilege of becoming world figures through their blog posts and millions of
them became bloggers. Also lots of people all around the world were hungry for
rich and quality blog content in the blogger.com.
Wordpress made an entrance into
the blog world
The
success of blogger.com did not last for a long time before Wordpress came to
the scene. Wordpress and blogger had loggerheads in order for one to displace
the other. At that point in time, many people were already using blogger but
wordpress came in with wonderful features that caused colossal fall of
blogger.com. Interestingly, lots of people left blogger and joined wordpress
but some still uses blogger.com till date.
Features that distinguishes
wordpress
Wordpress
is still the best content management system for blogger. There are many content
management systems developed before and after the advent of wordpress but none
can be compared with it as a result of its top notch features.
-
Wordpress is generally easy to use
and as a result of this, many people turn to it. The sole aim of the digital
age is to produce wonderful designs and software that will be easy to use and
therefore wordpress answers this
quest of humanity. Its backend dashboard is made so simple that designers
cannot afford to use any other CMS.
-
Wordpress also provides free plug-in. Plug-ins
are those software that can be enable the installation of a third party
application such as videos to a web browser or a larger software. The free
plug-in feature of wordpress adds dynamism to your blog.
-
Another important feature of
wordpress is that it is SEO friendly making it easy for people to use it
effectively for search engine optimization.
With
these reasons in place, blogger.com cannot be compared with wordpress. Sadly,
most people find it difficult to migrate to wordpress simply because of their
large user base in blogger. However you can effectively do this.
