Well, basically I chose it over any other because I know several other bloggers who are on it. It has some nice ways to reply to comments (on your blog and any other wordpress.com blog) without having to check back on each post. It has a very nice android app (if mobile is your thing) that makes it much easier to use on mobile than blogger. The user interface isn't quite as user friendly than the old blogger, but unlike blogger I haven't had any problems with scheduling posts. It's separate from Google. Like anything else, there are tradeoffs, but I think I made a good decision.
I really didn't find it that difficult to move. WordPress copied over all of my old posts and comments just fine. The hardest part was trying to make sure people used to the old blog knew I was switching. I think my traffic dropped off by half, but I sure like wordpress a whole lot more…
So, I should buy shares in wordpress?

The more blogger changes, the more I'm looking at WordPress.

WordPress is free and easy. Has a free basic free stats page and a great spam filter.

That looks good. What was your differentiation between WordPress and some of the other platforms?

Well, for comparison, here is one post from when I was on blogger, and here is the same post after transferring to wordpress.

My main concern is with the pictures… My posts themselves don't amount to much!
