Many bloggers who have decided to take the plunge and write on a regular basis (What? Who said addiction? Wasn't me.) usually move to Typepad or WordPress.com or WordPress.org because information technology's a petty more than professional (whatever that means–I know a few big bloggers who still use Blogger and don't use domain names either). In the showtime, Blogger was downward a lot, and people moved away from
information technology. I think they've resolved that problem for the nigh part.

To me, the question you have is really about beingness able to have total creative command over the expect and feel of your blog. Having more inventiveness also means needing to understand and know more CSS, HTML, code-y stuff. Blogger actually is great because it allows you to change your HTML and CSS as you encounter fit. You can do it no trouble with a few tutorials found online.

If you are looking at moving to TypePad, you lot should know that yous must have at to the lowest degree a Pro level account ($14.95/month) to modify your CSS. You lot can upload a imprint and change the colors via the Pattern page with the Plus level ($8.95/calendar month), merely you lot can't make significant changes without the Pro account or higher. In addition, yous need to sympathise CSS and be able to make modifications yourself. There's a learning curve there, only it can be done.

My advice is to look closely at each blog provider and how much yous'll pay for which services. We have an article that links to many of the popular blog hosts. If I were you, I'd see if Blogger already met the expectations I had before switching to a paid service. Also, I accept heard just great things about WordPress.

What say you, bloggers? Do yous think you actually have more freedom with TypePad (or another provider) than with Blogger? Weigh in!

Tomorrow I'll tell you how to transfer your current web log content to a new provider.
