I keep debating about going over to WordPress, but always chicken out for some reason. I mean I really don't have any complaints with Blogger.

I originally had it there purely for amusement value (I loved some of the random keywords that got used to generate content), but then it got iffy. Given that I made all of $7 off of it in about 6 months, it wasn't worth the work. Not even close.Burgh Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123901504643963583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-50969669420273691472010-02-23T15:40:17.291-05:002010-02-23T15:40:17.291-05:00I have thought several times about hosting GoogleA...I have thought several times about hosting GoogleAds, and every time I do, I read something that reminds me why it isn't worth it. And I find it unfortunate that a company that pledges such great innovation and user-friendlyness can't find a better way to address user complaints.<br /><br />As for jumping ship . . . I like the look of Wordpress blogs, but it has taken me forever to learn HTML, and I have read that Wordpress uses CSS. (I have no idea what the difference is, or if it really is an issue . . . I just don't want to try to figure it out.)<br /><br />(And I just had a similar problem with Facebook. I got a friend request that was CLEARLY spam, and when I tried to report it, I got sucked into an endless loop of 'How can we help you?' that never did get me to the right place! I ended up just blocking the user.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-49727934432683648672010-02-23T15:19:53.502-05:002010-02-23T15:19:53.502-05:00Google is the WORST place ever to attempt to conta...Google is the WORST place ever to attempt to contact any type of customer service. For all of their products. My mom had an issue w/ YouTube recently - they banned her! She doesn't know enough about the internet to get banned!<br /><br />It took me over an hour to finally find a contact email and nearly a week for them to resolve the issue. <br /><br />I know myself and others find value in most Google products, but for all of their value, you'd think they'd be better at customer service instead of "Does this answer your question?"

I have read many issues with google ads which is why I have opted out of them on my blog. <br /><br />Have you considered going with your own domain and having it hosted? I am going to that and it cost me less than $100 for the first year.<br /><br />The other thing is to move to WordPress. I had a blog over there briefly. Liked how it worked and it has a pretty easy dashboard to use.Kimberly Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011334298854922476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-38537582801217165422010-02-23T10:15:33.135-05:002010-02-23T10:15:33.135-05:00You could take the hottie thing as a compliment......You could take the hottie thing as a compliment...
