This isn’t one of my normal posts, in fact it’s something of a fishing exercise, and you could almost describe it as a fact-finding mission. It involves the possibility of switching my blog over from Blogger to WordPress (https://en-gb.wordpress.org/)and just wanted to sound out people’s opinions, or better still experiences of using either site.
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mNQUAJ1RAzg/XprPUjxfdbI/AAAAAAAAmGg/Sz8mdWn1FFMbNY8ocruTnHjI7kHle-aHwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Conference%2Bposter.jpg (https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mNQUAJ1RAzg/XprPUjxfdbI/AAAAAAAAmGg/Sz8mdWn1FFMbNY8ocruTnHjI7kHle-aHwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Conference%2Bposter.jpg)I’ve been using Blogger, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogger_(service)) which is Google’s own, cloud-based, blog hosting platform, since starting this blog, nearly 12 years ago, and in the main have fond it easy to use. I have experienced the odd niggle though, especially when it comes to positioning photos and getting the text to wrap round correctly.
The latter problem doesn’t occur all the time, but it can be a nuisance, especially when you attempt to squeeze in that one last extra photo. You can then spend an age having to reposition all the others; something that’s very frustrating when you’re about to pack up for the evening, before hitting the sack. Most of the time though, Blogger is easy to use and relatively user friendly.
So, what about WordPress? I first became aware of the platform six years ago, when I attended my first European Bloggers Conference in Dublin. (https://baileysbeerblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/european-beer-bloggers-conference-2014.html) WordPress were one of the event's main sponsors, and a couple of cool-looking dudes gave a presentation on the company and the benefits of using their software to host one’s blog.
I was tempted back then to give WordPress a go, but my blog seemed to be doing fine as it was with Google’s platform, so I left things alone, on the basis of “If it ain’t broke, don’t try fixing it,” but every so often, and now is one of those moments, I think to myself, should I give it a go?

Hence the reason for this short, and slightly out of context post. I know that amongst the blogs I follow and sometimes comment on, there are users of both platforms, so I would be interested in learning about people’s views, thoughts and experiences of both Blogger and WordPress.
Thank-you all in advance; I look forward to hearing from you.
