Rich is now on Wordpress (he was still using Blogger at the time this post was published, which is why I included him as an example). Good work on the migration though. It was done very seamlessly, and looks polished. Also, you make a good point about the discontinuation of FTP service from Blogger. And, I agree that Wordpress is definitely the more flexible option. Thanks for you comments. @Sawyer – You’re right. Rich is now on WordPress (he was still using Blogger at the time this post was published, which is why I included him as an example).

You can still aim a domain name at your Blogger blog, but WordPress has proven to be more powerful and flexible for many users, including Rich. Rich Legg actually uses WordPress now. ;)

When it was time to start my photo blog, I switched to Wordpress. MT is very powerful and configurable, if you don't mind doing some development work or hiring someone to customize it for you. The default templates are very mundane and there just isn't a decent community of people providing great themes for it, like Wordpress. Six Apart seems to be willing to leave behind the individual bloggers who helped them start-up and would rather sell MT to corporate clients, shuffling off individuals to TypePad or Vox, which each have their own limitations. Wordpress seems better designed for the end user who is interested in a plethora of easily configurable options and plug-ins, where MT is a system that isn't as well integrated and often requires you delve into HTML and CSS development to create the site you want.
