WordPress Vs Blogger – What to do in 2023?

WordPress Vs Blogger

This post is real hard thing for me to do.. [WordPress vs Blogger Comparison]

As it is to be done for the comparison of two most powerful blogging platforms working in the world.

And they are WordPress and the BlogsPot.

As I already said it is the hard thing to do for me to get over the best comparison in the market…

But lemme try at least!


WordPress vs BlogSpot [Blogger] 2023

Well….

Why do you want me to jump right over the versus part of the WordPress and the BlogSpot BUT I will rather do the history checked for the two blogging platforms, and first…

History of BlogSpot

Blogger is also the name of BlogSpot where this service was first developed by Pyra Labs back in 1999.

Then it was acquired by the Google, Inc. just in the four years time span (in 2003) from Pyra Labs.

And the primary subdomain is generally used as https://blogspot.com to access the Blogger/BlogSpot service and has been the same since its inception.

The computer language that was used to develop this service was Python.

A little history about WordPress

WordPress hit the market in August 2005 and by the world-famous company, Automattic, which most people already know about.

And was coded into the two programming languages namely PHP and MySQL.

What’s in the history??

Nothing.

History is the past word, to see what went past already.

And the online world is not all about the past but is the name of future.

That is the reason the history about the Blogger/BlogSpot and WordPress will not really bring the new trends, and that I put up just a little bit of the history as you can notice just for that same reason — history is the past.

But…

But…….

There are some very big, noticeable, and immense differences between all of these blogging platform.

BlogSpot is just one, so do not really worry about it.

But WordPress is different… I must tell it is so different.

From the feature to offerings to everything.

In short, BlogSpot and WordPress are definitely different from each other.

And the WordPress is different too.

What’s the difference here then between Blogger and WordPress?

BlogSpot is the Blogger/BlogSpot.

WordPress is not just only the WordPress.

But it is WordPress.com and WordPress.org, the two players in one game but do have their own differences.

But even having their own differences, they do only mind their own business. 🙂

So again…

BlogSpot is Blogger/BlogSpot.

WordPress.com, one player.

WordPress.org, another player in the family of the WordPress.

Blogger.com/BlogSpot

It is the free platform with many limitations.

WordPress.com

WordPress.com (mind that .COM thing) is the free blogging platform. And just like BlogSpot, it is up with many limitations as well.

WordPress.org

The software itself is free to use but you cannot run the blog using the software that you downloaded off the WordPress.org for FREE but yet it is more powerful and almost-limitless in many cases, for many features.

The versus part

Let me just take you to the versus part of WordPress and the BlogSpot and without spending a lotta time over the history…

As you folks already know BlogSpot is the Blogger.com, and the WordPress is actually WordPress.com and WordPress.org

Now we hop over the versus part to understand all the differences, all the problems, and all the features out of these three blogging platforms.

And that what is more feature-rich in terms of everything.

  1. Great Article ! I think newbies must be started with Blogspot and then steadily transfer their blog to WordPress. This may enhance their experience in blogging field.

  2. Brilliant post, I also thought to start from blogspot and then moved to Wp.org but this looks a heavy task. MY purpose of the blog is to educate people on different issues and when I have built some brand then I want to sell digital services as well as do the CPA and add adsense on it. I hope wp.org seems the best fit. Cheers

    Gave you my million dollar email to be added on your list. Haha
