Why did I switch from my longtime Blogger site (click here) to WordPress?
There are a few reasons. First, I wanted more control over how the site looks and its layout. Blogger was helpful when I first got into blogging however it is limited in options and while there are likely ways around the default settings I don’t have enough knowledge of coding or website editing to make it look more up-to-date. Also, I began working with a WordPress site from another organization and realized that if I learned how to create and improve WP pages, that could benefit me in other areas. One of which, if you will indulge me a bit, might help me stave off dementia. It’s known that if people, as they age, continue learning, the connections taking place between brain neurons keep the brain “in shape.”
Lastly, I got locked out of the Blogger site. After living in Minnesota for a few years I decided to change my cell to a local number. While that process was not difficult, I needed to be aware of any two-factor authentications using the old number. I got practically all of them, save for, yes, my Blogspot site. And since Google doesn’t allow for alternatives, I am screwed.
So here I am.
