Summary: <p>Blogger or WordPress? That is the question!</p> <p><em>We promised that a Blogging series was on the way, and here it is! Blogging is something most of us know we should be doing, but struggle to stay on top of. There are so many questions such as “what platform should I use?” and “how often do I need to blog?”. We are going to address these questions throughout our series, but join us in our Facebook group <a href="http://www.growwithusmastermind.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.growwithusmastermind.com</a> to start the conversation now. It’s also a great place to get support and advice when you are struggling to build your Teacher Pay Teachers businesses.</em></p> <p>Ok, get ready everyone. Today we are addressing the popular debate: Blogger vs WordPress. We were a little nervous to record this episode of our podcast because we’ve witnessed this debate get a little heated between Blogger fans and WordPress fans. But, the bottom line is there is no one-size fits all solution.</p> <p>We were excited to have Danielle Knight from <a href="https://www.studyallknight.com/">Study All Knight</a> join us for this conversation. Danielle has used both platforms over the years. She was originally coming on as our Blogger expert, but actually just completed a relaunch on WordPress. She has a lot of knowledge on both and shared why she recently decided it was time to jump back over to WordPress.</p> <p style="text-align: center;" class="g1-content-img-wrap"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1050 " src="http://www.growwithuspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/bloggerorwordpresspin-683x1024.png" alt="" width="361" height="541"></p> <h2>The pressure to switch to WordPress</h2> <p>If you have had a website for any length of time and aren’t using WordPress you have probably felt the pressure to switch at one time or another. It seems that everyone is being pushed over to that platform, but there usually isn’t a lot of explanation given as to why you should switch. The truth is, <strong><em>we don’t think everyone needs to be on WordPress</em></strong>.</p> <p>For some of you, Blogger is going to better. For others, WordPress is going to be what you need to accomplish your blogging goals. It truly depends on what you want from your blog.</p> <h2>What we are using on our own blogs</h2> <p>Angie and I both use WordPress on our own blogs as well as on the Grow With Us website. We made this decision because there are a few things that we want to accomplish on our blogs that are easier to do using WordPress. While we might be able to do some of these things on Blogger it would require hiring a designer to do the work for us or having to find a workaround. But, we’ll dive more into that later.</p> <p>Angie actually found Blogger to be a little confusing to use but knows that there are plenty of people that have had the exact opposite experience.</p>
