I've been looking at other blog sites -- does anyone have a favorite other than Blogger? There's so much that I want to do with my blog template and feel that Blogger is very limiting. Or maybe it's just my lack of experience with templates.

I looked at Typepad but you have to pay for that one. I am trying it for 30 days for free.

Would love to hear your preferences.

I've seen people saying they switched because blogger was giving them problems; I'm wondering if that was before Blogger switched to it's new format? I've only been blogging for three months, and so far no troubles. I thought about switching one of my blogs over to wordpress, but so far have had a hard time figuring it out.

Any more Peeps yet Tracey?

Blogger works fine for me and if I have any questions I ask them and get good answers. MB

I use blogger for all three of my blogs and have no problems. I even use "add-ins" (counters, email registry, etc.) on two of them and have no problems. As soon as I get through the month of May, I'm going to work on customized banners for all three. It shouldn't be a problem - others have done it on blogger. But we'll see. ~ K

I'm not having problems with Blogger -- just frustrated trying to get a customized banner. I would gladly pay someone to do one for me.

Kay:

I've got an entire list of blog sites that I visit, and most of these gals have all paid the same woman to design theirs. The link to her site is:

http://freckledfundesigns.blogspot.com/

A great number of the sites that I visit are actually listed there. Hope this helps you. ~ Kaylyn

I really like wordpress. I am interested in a typepad, but that is going to be my yule gift to myself next season.
