Blogger or Wordpress?

As I finished LonCon earlier this month I decided it would be nice to start a little blog. I had previously made an Icelandic website (einarleif.is) so I had looked at a few platforms and decided to go with Wordpress in the past. This website is however with Blogger. So why did I change platforms?

Simple answer is time. I had planned to blog and setting up a new Wordpress site takes time. I would have needed order a new domain name and inquire about a few things from my friend (who has worked in web design), like:
  • How do you run two Wordpress sites on the same computer?
  • Should a go with a new domain provider or keep using the Icelandic company (can I even book a .com with them)?
This would mean that I would not start blogging for weeks, maybe even months (procrastination is king). Also what if I didn't like blogging? Or just did a few posts and then nothing more?

As blogger is a much simpler platform then Wordpress that would be up and running in seconds I decided to at least start using them. Later I might set up a fancier Wordpress site but until then this is more than enough for my needs.
