Q: Sir Jomar good evening,
I am just wondering why your websites are using the platform on the
blogger instead in the wordpress. Mas maganda ba gamitin ang blogger
kaysa wordpress? What are the advantages or disadvantages if you use
one over the other?

A: I just LOVE this question!!!!
Why Blogger and not WP?
I'm totally serious with my answers, okay? And this is for all who is asking.
1. Blogger is simple to use. WP (hosted, of course) is for geeks and
people who like GREP. Figure that out, geek!
2. WP (hosted) is not the same as WP (wordpress.com/wordpress.org).
Hosted is PAID. The other two is FREE now we shall call it wordpress
(free).
3. WP (free) can't be used for commercial reasons if you're just starting OUT.
4. Once you have a WP (hosted) up, you need to MANUALLY protect
yourself from DOS attacks and other computer vermin and evil hackers.
When you use Blogger, GOOGLE takes care of that for you, for free.
5. Blogger is for beginners, WP (hosted) is for advanced users who
dream of FTP, specially in the old days when I started.
6. Nowadays you can make WP look like blogger and vice versa.
7. I decided to walk my talk and use what I advise people to use.
However if you're going to be a VA, you use NEITHER Blogger or
Wordpress (hosted), you use wordpress (free).
In hindsight, since I like security, #4 makes me sleep well at night. :)
Some will say, aha, what if Google takes down your blogger/gmail
account! In WP (hosted) -you control everything - in Blogger, you're
under the wishes of King Google.
Here's the secret: The secret is not in the email or the blog. It's in
my email list w/c is 1shoppingcart and is periodically backed up in
different ways. :) And even when that disappears, it doesn't matter,
why? It's the RELATIONSHIP and BRAND that I've built that can be built
up again any time. So oh well, that's why Blogger vs WP!
Hosted of course.
