The Setup Of A Tech Blogger

I like to keep my blogging setup pretty clean and simple & basically use two Laptops & a tablet spread over two desks. My main desk consists of my Acer C720 Chromebook on a cooling Docking station with my 2012 Asus Google Nexus 7 just in front providing live stats from my Blog & wireless Keyboard & Mouse on the Keyboard tray.

Spam Comments: What's The Point?

After getting a rather harsh Spam Comment accusing me of copying material for an Article that was 100% my material I approved the comment and requested the person that made the comment to cite the source for the allegedly copied material, to which I was met with no reply I've decided to write this article about Spam Comments.

this isn't the first time that I've written an Article about Spam Comments, but it's definitely the first time that I've been accused of copying material from another source be it in a legitimate Comment or a Spam Comment.

Accusing someone of copying material from another source that's 100% the Authors own work is a serious accusation to make, even if the Comment is a spam Comment as not all Blogging Platforms provide a Spam Filter like WordPress does, even a self hosted WordPress Blog ether self hosted or via a hosting Company doesn't provide Spam filtering unless the Akismet Spam filter Plugin enabled.

Why I've Decided To Move Back To Wordpress From Blogger

After spending the last couple of years experimenting with using Blogger as my Blogging Platform and most of this year not Blogging I've decided to come back to WordPress as my chosen Platform as I felt that with using Blogger it was hard to get a decent daily viewership to hat I'd become accustomed to when I was regularly using WordPress.

Also I found Blogger a bit limited with what you could do in the way of customizing your Blog without having to resort to HTML & XML code and a lot of the themes are Premium compared to over here on WordPress.

Blogger is the ideal Platform if you can dedicate your time to working at getting the best out of it, but it can be a bit hard to get a decent Google Search rank for articles compared to using WordPress which strikes me as a little odd as Blogger is owned by Google you would think that it would Rank Blogger articles higher than WordPress articles, in the past I've spent more time on trying to tweak the title of articles using Blogger than what it has taken me to write the article only for Google to not Rank it at all where as with WordPress I find that a couple of tweaks of the article title can get an article Ranked at the top of the first page depending on the topic.

I'm probably now going to spend most of my time getting all the Google Authorship stuff sorted out for my WordPress Blog and start enjoying Blogging again.
