[Hidden-tech] Blogger vs. Wordpress - also DreamHost

[Diane Clancy]

I atarted with a WordPress blog on my site - and 
have been very happy with it.  Recently, I have 
set up  WordPress hosted and Blogger blogs since 
I will be setting up some blogs for clients and I 
wanted to get a feel for their choices.  The 
second 2 don't have much content yet - mainly 
doing it to figure out some things for myself and 
others.

I like the best the WordPress on my own site - 
the most flexible by far - and not hard to set 
up.  Also there are a bunch of people who will 
set it up for you for free ... but you have to 
know your password and hosting info.  I did it 
myself ... little scary to start .. but went fine.

Also, I just found out about a great resource -
http://dreamhost.com/
I just signed up for 2 years of hosting - at 
$7.95/month - but with hosting unlimited domains 
and subdomains, $50 off immediately, and 5 free 
domain registrations.  I have a friend who has 
been using them and finds it great.  My 5 days so 
far has been good - goos email tech support for 
free.  (Does have a limit of 73 users in my 
account - to sign in separately for ftp and such 
- that seems stingy but I will live with it (a 
joke)).  They are a small company who wants to 
make a living and not sell to a bigger company - 
they say.

Hope this is helpful,
Diane Clancy
