Critique of My Blog

John Saddington is all over the web, building and branding blogs from the ground up.

His personal brand is here

Churchcrunch.com is one that I watched grow from the beginning and follow today as well. This is were I fill as if I get insider news regarding technology and how it relates to church and ministry.

Recently he started tentblogger.com and is now a professional blogger. A few weeks ago he offered his services for free and offered people a quick review of their blogs.  Here is what John has to say about this blog.

If you honestly watched it and know anything about blogs I have a little room for improvements. Check out his sites I linked to above and you can see a quick difference. No I do not plan on being a professional blogger, but I would like for my blog to be more professional and easy to use for my readers.

I hope to be making some improvements soon, but not sure if the turn around will be as quick as desired.

For example, I would like to move my blog from Blogger to Wordpress. Blogger is a great place for ease of use. On the other hand Wordpress is more dynamic and robust in what they offer. Did you know that approximately 17% of websites are being built using Wordpress platform. Moving to Wordpress would allow more flexibility in terms of publishing content on this blog.

Here are a few of my favorite blogs and you can see how flexible Wordpress is:

Michael Hyatt
Chris Brogan
Corey Allan and Simple Marriage
Trey Morgan--he switched earlier this year from Blogger to Wordpress
Check out this showcase of sites using Wordpress and Standard Theme.

There you have it, a critique of my blog and my desire to use the Wordpress platform.

Currently I am debating the low monthly hosting fees ($10 or less) that are required when using a Wordpress platform. Lee Bezotte is offering to transfer this blog by using his hosting service. If that happens I will be using the Standard Theme built by John Saddington.

So what do you think, should I move to Wordpress?
