Wordpress

I'm thinking of changing blogs over to them. Any thoughts anyone? I've been looking over the features and it seems much more customizable and user friendly than blogger. If anyone has used them before or has anything they can say about switching over, please let me know.

Nice find! I like it. Better user features than this place... was kicking self for not going there in the first place cos i am attached to my content - but they do importing of your existing blog so I can't see why not! I like the fact you can import own photo as banner, that it saves your work every minute in case you crash etc and I would imagine YOU will enjoy the greater flexibility regarding layout etc. also the stats counter thingy looks fun. I might switch if I can work out how I would redirect people. Don't want to lose my 5 readers hehe.

Ok this is my last comment on this here because ... 3 is way too many already. But I'm trying it out and it SEEMS you can't use host codes to embed video from youtube/dailymotion, which I like doing (embedding code only creates a link). If that's the case I'm not going there. Also I don't really like the templates- they're not v flexible (tho it won;t bother you if you're going to import background). Also I'm finding the site hard to navigate, but that could be force of habit. And the import option is not immediately evident - you may have to apply. gonna keep tweaking it tho.. suggest you open an account and have a look for yourself. :)

Thanks for the advice. I think I will sign up and tinker, its not like its going to cost me anything.

I know you can embed directly to Youtube style videos, because I've seen it done before, so its just a matter of figuring out how, I guess.
