Played with Wordpress tonight. There's not much on my blog there now but I like the bells and whistles and the pretty templates I wish Blogger has.

Still, I think I will stick with Blogdrive as my main blog because:

1. Blog for money

Although I have sort of decided to retire from blog marketing, I can still do the odd paid post if I choose to on Blogdrive and Blogger. Wordpress does not allow you to sell stuff on their blogs and they're very strict about it.

2. Control

I am so used to Blogdrive that I can almost edit my main template upside down and with my eyes closed. Naw... not really but I feel more comfortable here with every bit of code (almost) within my control.

3. Community

A big part of it is my recent invitation to join Blogdrive's cool Help Forum Blog. I'm a bit new and shy around the members but am sure as time goes by, we'll be fine and familiar.

4. History

Strange Machines and I go back a long way. We have history. I can't imagine starting a new personal blog all over again and deleting this one. What would I write about if I started a 4th blog? I doubt I could tempt Tux to start his own blog at Wordpress.

At the end of the day, Wordpress is what I wish Blogger would become. Less commercial (ironic, isn't it?) and faster to load! <- Actually that's all I ask.
