Yes, it is more professional to see a .com, but an intelligent type of person who sees content for what is, and in turn, people for who they are, instead of what they appear to be will see things in a better light.

A lot of amazing stuff can be done on blogspot, you can make your blog look exactly like a professional blog, I have, and all I needed to do was edit the HTML, which you can’t do on WordPress. And even when I switch over to my own domain, I’ll still use blogger because it’s ridiculous to use WordPress. SEO tweaks are amazing, but if you spend so much time tweaking and uploading pics is a mess, and there are so many problems with wordpress, you’ll spend so much more time tweaking instead of actually blogging, and that’s valuable time lost. People spend hours tweaking wordpress. Bloggers on blogspot can post 20 posts in those hours, add that up, and SEO wise there is your advantage for blogger if you know how to do it right.

That’s why people hire me.

The biggest difference i have found to date is that to many functions within blogger layout don’t function And worse , you can’t get any support to straighten out the problem .

I also have a stand alone blog using word press .org but find myself spending far to much time trying to learn how to do things and i have no inclination to learn html .

I’ve since moved on to WordPress, which I really like. I’m no HTML expert, and changing my blog has been difficult at times, but I feel I’ve learned some valuable coding lessons through trial and error, which I wouldn’t have been able to learn using Blogger. I also like WP’s functionality a lot better than Blogger’s.
