Which blogging software (wordpress or blogger) do you like to use for your blog? I got used to start with blogsport or blogger software for a short time and then I stopped using it. I have started using wordpress blogging software instead. I now got accustomed to wordpress. Therefore, I like using blogging software wordpress rather than blogger. How about you?

That is Cambodian guy wearing T-shirt bearing with logo of “Wordpress”, whether it means that he really supports wordpress, right?

Hi Vutha!

I am one of your regular visitors to this great site of yours! I read a lot ! This is the very topic I wanted to do the story about. I’m glad since you brought this up. Now I can abandon my thought of the doing the story. But instead leaving my comment here! :)

When I started my blog I thought the same: Wordpress or Blogger(Blogspot)? They both are good. However, from what I read on the internet, Blogger has major advantage over Wordpress in term of search engine. For example, if you’re to blog your entry on “Bun Rani Hun Sen” or “Prasat Ta Moan Thom”. Google search will show your post less than 4 hours after your entry posted. It’s fast. This is because Google owns Blogger (Blogspot). Where as Wordpress has to carry their search engine through a different companies like Google or Yahoo. Perhaps Wordpress has to pay Google or Yahoo for this search engine service. So your entry on “Bun Rani Hun Sen” or “Prasat Ta Moan Thom” would take longer in the search if you’re to compose on Wordpress.

Another thing I like Blogger because it’s simple to use. I can easily put any code of HTML/XML linking to any servers. I don’t have IT knowlege. But, I did it easily on Blogger. At my blog on the left side, I have link to poems and LibraryThing (books I read. They all are at different servers. Blogger is Google ! So it’s big. It never gone out of business.

I think it doesn’t matter Wordpress or Blogger. They both are good. Most importantly we must keep on blogging. Write out our feeling and idea so openly. I am sure both Wordpress and Blogger are proponents of free speech. Just very recently on 5 August 2008 Google Spokesman, Adam Kovacevich assured “… it is very important to us that Blogger remain a tool for political debate and free expression.”

Hello Vannak, thanks for your visiting my blog. I like using Wordpress because i got used to use it for long time, so that i think it is easy for me. That is true that free blogger is able to be customized but wordpress is not available.

I used to enter into your blog regularly. You should continue to share your ideas with all of us as Cambodians.

The fact is that, blog platform facilitates me to share my thoughts,opinions and stuffs with all of you.

I love blogger while i adore Wordpress. Blogger is easy to create and to use but it seems not to be flexible, which some features are controlled by google blogger and we have to accept it. I hope to see Blogger Package (as WP does now) released soon so that i can do whatever i want; digging into the code, developing more plug-ins..etc. All these things stated above are the proof that i adore Wordpress where i could do whatever i want…Shh… i am using Blogger ;)

At my first time using blog I tried Blogsome later Blogger but I’ve changed to Wordpress and really love it.

Wordpress block some feature like embedded flash code, javascript and some more script but it’s cool enough for me coz i don’t require much for those and what i need Wordpress already had.

So what is easy for me, I’ll choose it.
