When I started blogging I used Blogger as a temporary solution till I was able to get my own system built. But I quickly realized that it would take a long time to write my own blogging system so I decided I’d look around for other systems.
Blogger offered an easy way to publish a blog, but had little flexibility to do more advanced changes. So I downloaded WordPress and started working on a new custom-designed template. I also had to find plugins that would fit with my needs. I enjoyed rewriting an existing “Last few comments” plugin into my own little “Most affectionate” plugin.
WordPress has endless posibilities and I feel it is the best blogging system out there.. for me at least. ^^
Anyway, sorry about the rant. I’ve tried different systems, but WordPress is the system for me.
