Blogger or Wordpress?
-
Which one should i use to start my blog on my own domain name?
-
I've got to agree - use WordPress!
-
Use Wordpress, and wordpress.org, not just wordpress.com with your own domain name. With wordpress.org you'll own and host and control the content and can implement 301s and whatever else is needed. You have freedom and options you don't get when it's hosted elsewhere.
-
Agreed with the majority here. Wordpress. I have two blogs on there currently and think it's super simple with plenty of awesome plug-ins.
-
An alternative response, just for the hell of it - I have recently seen examples of Google giving a massive boost to blogspot
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=curly+hair+images
I trawled through a number of hair related queries and there is a massive over representation of blogspot sites appearing high in image search
If your doing images, Id give it a try

ja - wordpress- so many and usefull plugins!
-
I'll add a vote for Wordpress. I love it.
-
+1 Wordpress.
-
Based on reputation and a limited amount of feedback, I would suggest using your own domain name.
Before making your decision, try Google: "Dont use blogger" and "Dont use wordpress".
Of course there are plenty of people who use each service and are quite happy. Since you are asking the question, you probably want to hear about a few negative experiences so you can make the right decisions.

I have used both and Wordpress is by far the best. Lots of great plug-ins. Very versatile and customizable. A little harder to install and customize but there are lots of capable people who can help you for a fee.
-
Wordpress - you can't beat it for most websites.

How do I fix a broken link to a product category page in wordpress?
We are building a new site currently at http://67.222.109.48/~cheapnan/ I started doing some SEO after the developer I hired failed to do it even though it was in the agreement. I did our old site so I should be able to do this but I am new to wordpress. Now when i go to the products tab at the top of the page the first 2 have broken links, I checked the rest and there are 3 total that I need to fix. I am unsure how to access the navigation so I can fix the links. Please tell me where to look.

Help getting a Wordpress.com site to rank
Hi all, I have a blog for my site, but it hasn't been integrated into our site yet (that will happen in the next few months when we do some site changes). For now, it sits on a Wordpress.com site, and links from my website. I post a couple times a week, have social media linked to it, and feed posts to aggregators regularly. I also comment and like other Wordpress.com sites, but it just isn't ranking. Do I just need to stay persistent? It's been up for a month now, but still only getting a few hits a day. Any advice?

H1 tag in Blank in Wordpress website
Good evening, I have noticed using some h1 checkers, that my primary h1 tag is blank. I manually introduced an h1 with my main keywords, but system recognises as 2 different h1 tags, and therefore it could be harmful for my SEO purposes. I created my wordpress website using Artisteer. Is there any specific way (or plugin) to change this primary h1 tag so it wont appear as blank? My site is www.outletspain.net Thanks in advance Maria Jesus
