random thoughts on wordpress
It’s been an non-eventful week for me. though I’ve been playing heavily with wordpress and the wonders of it.
While I would agree with the wonders of blogger.com and all the things you can achieve with it. You got to admit, blogger blogs is the most SEO-friendly software around. Of cos, blogger is own by Google anyway. Therefore, Google would make blogger to be extremly friendly, so that google bots can crawl the site easier.
However, as an internet maketer, I prefer to have information hosted at my own domain. The reason is simple. If I blog at blogger, all the information belongs to blogger, not me. Of cos, you can FTP the blogger posts to your own domain, but why bother in the first place right?
Install wordpress and be done with it! 
The other thing I like about wordpress is the things I can do with it. I can set up a blog for my own personal space like my RisingIMStar.com, or an automated software like my www.ChristmasTravelVacations.com. Btw, if you are interested in setting up something like my travel site to generate some auto income. you can visit it here.

But enough of the sales pitch, though I wouldn’t mind rambling on about it. But the bottom line, I LOVE WORDPRESS. There are 1001 things you can do with wordpress that you cannot achieve with Blogger Blogs. Auto Pinging, Tagging, Control of adsense, etc. more templates to choose from, paid & free ones, all very nice.
So for those beginning to blog, consider using installing wordpress on your own hosting account.
More later.
