If I was starting a blog now, i’d go with word press, however, having got people to find my blog in the first place, changing the url would be a suicidal thing to do. Also, when I change my phone I can start blogging with blogger on my mobile, whichy I am keen to do so I’ll stick with blogger for now.

I would love to change to WordPress, Ellee, but it looks too complex. Your blog is a super example of how good it can get.

WordPress rocks!

I’m doing some really wild stuff with WordPress now, and I love it.

The key thing is community. There is an amazing amount of support and information, and that attracts more people and so it continues.

I’ve got a site up that has things like weather integration, a feedback form and it’s set up to start with a WordPress “page”. All because of the plugins that were already built that I could use.

There are heaps of off-the-shelf themes too.

Ellee I don’t think it counts- but I know tons of students in the UK including myself who watch Jon Stewart’s show online from the US (if you don’t its brilliant), its interesting because I think him and Stephen Colbert are becoming quite famous over here and not neccessarily through being on Channel 4 but through having clips on the internet.

As to blogging- thank god I’m a blogger only a few people will be interested in- I thank god for my obscurity- I’d hate to be made a subject of press stories. I’ll leave that to Iain Dale!

This list shows how times are changing:

Times are usually also staying the same and as change is usually bad,and to be feared this is a great relief.

Geoff, Thanks for the link, it was very interesting reading Robert’s post and the comments. I guess it was Robert’s invite to post about John Edwards’ candidacy for the Democrats that led to Forbes calling him a political blogger.

Newmania, I’ve not heard of most of those on the list either – are we out of touch? It’s because the USA is so far ahead of us. I have met Robert Scoble and read his book, he was Microsoft’s top blogger and has been very influential in this field.

Forbes is incredibly high profile for listing the movers and shakers and top performers, it has its finger on the pulse. This list shows how times are changing:

Word Press? Blank and I `ve never heard of the rest of them. I must be old and dull…..( Ellee if you could vehemently disagree I `d appreciate it …tragic)
