Word Press or Blogger Which is Better?

There is always a debate about word press and blogger which is better?

After only using blogger for a couple of days I concluded that blogger is 100% easier to get started with than word press.

My blogger blog was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Hardest thing will probably creating a Google account if you don’t have one. Which anyone who is serious about making money online should have.

With blogger there is no need to pay for webhosting because Google provide hosting for free.

Using blogger is like going into your email and start typing. But instead of hitting the send button you hit the post it button.

Word press require down loading a zip file. Right away this is getting technical for a lot of people. The time it takes to down, fine and on zip the file you could of written your first blogger post.

below is word press handy guide with their famous 5 installation instructions.

(Famous 5-Minute Install

Here's the quick version of the instructions, for those that are already comfortable with performing such installations. More detailed instructions follow.

If you are not comfortable with renaming files, Steps 3 and 4 are optional and you can skip them as the install program will create wp-config.php file.

1.     Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven't already.

2.     Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.

3.     Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.

4.     Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.

5.     Upload the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:

§  If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.

§  If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g.http://example.com/blog/), create the blog directory on your server and upload WordPress to the directory via FTP.

6.     Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in a web browser.

§  If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php

§  If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit:http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)

 Yes I know word press have more plugins and themes but what does that have to do with success online. There are lots of successful boggers using google blogger. Like Richrd byrne at www.freetech4teachers.com/. He is doing very well in his education niche.
