The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy Burgess from Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
For the longest time I was on Blogger. From probably 2012-2017. But in 2017 I switched over to the self-hosted WordPress and I LOVE it! Blogger was good for a beginner blogger, but I’m loving the way WordPress works.
I’m still using blogger. I always consider moving over but I also consider quitting a lot sooo lol

I consider quitting too! 🙂 But, I just can’t! It’s like I just am too wrapped up!
And, unlike some people, I never hated Blogger so, I’m thinking a lot of people really love Blogger!
I constantly go back and forth. I poked around on free WP and I found the interface counter intuitive. I can whip up a post in blogger in minutes. I have HTML templates, and I just go in there and modify what I need to. I fear putting out a bunch of money, and then it taking me forever to get things done. Glad it was a good experience for you

I totally get that! I’m convinced that there is no “better” platform. It’s all a matter of preference! 🙂
I do agree Blogger seems to be a good fit for beginning bloggers. Even though I’ve been blogging since 2006, I still feel like a beginner when it comes to the tech stuff. LOL I am quite happy with Blogger and haven’t been tempted to switch.
Hey, to each their own! I mean, it’s one of those things where it’s really just a matter of preference and doesn’t affect the quality of the blogs at all! 🙂
I originally started out on Blogger too, Christine, but was tempted away to WordPress.com with all their widgets, customisation options and formatting. I’m happy with WordPress and on 30th April I decided to go down the self-hosting route and found an affordable deal – Flora’s Musings is now a WP.org self-hosted blog too! 💜😊
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week, Christine, stay safe and healthy.
Here’s my BBH Post

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the self-hosted route! I’m like you–I enjoy the customizations!
