I am not sure I could manage with code…
I’ll try and look into the advantages and drawbacks of having my own webhosting site when I have more time.

Phyllis, no, if you want free, it seems that Blogger offers a lot. If you want to use Wordpress with its full functionality, you would need to 1) pay for your own webhosting and 2) be comfortable with code.

I like to tweak a lot, do some of my own coding, and I already pay for webhosting for my website, so for me, using Wordpress is free.

Let me know who the “cool kids” are. I got no clue. Personally, I think you and Ilana-Davita are pretty cool!

hmm…i might be the only one but so far i’m still happy with blogger. i am not quite ready to make the switch to wordpress or whatever the cool kids are using…but sometimes i’m jealous. however, now that blogger allows post-scheduling in advance, i’m even more content:-) any really good arguments for switching?

Ilana-Davita, I checked, and I couldn’t find a way you can have email-notification for commenters if you use wordpress.com instead of your own blog on your own webhosting site. You could always send them an email and ask. Maybe they’ll consider making it a standard feature.

The way I do it is I download the plugin, read the directions, then ftp the plugin code up to the plugins folder. Then I go into the admin panel and hit activate. This one was so easy to do.

I’d love to try that, I was actually wondering how to do it afer visiting blogs that had the plugin but I have no idea how to add a plugin to a blog. Sigh!
