Normally I use visual unless I need to center something or I'm copying in a guest post, etc. <br /><br />On a different note my bookclub picked The Summer of France as our June read. It sounds really good.

I never use the visual editor because... well... in my template it's horrible. Nothing looks like the final version and it's difficult to imagine the final layout. Since I know how to code in HTML, it's easier for me to do so and keep checking the preview window. I created a series of templates so I don't have to do design/color/image sizes, etc every time.<br /><br />WordPress can be as easy or difficult as you want to make it. They offer lots of features and almost no spam. There are a few frustrating limitation, especially the inability to use scripts, but I understand why. I would definitely recommend WordPress, but I'm biased and have been using it since 2006. I tried blogger in the very early days and wasn't impressed. I'm sure it's much better now but I haven't been back. <br /><br />Ok, enough babbling. And congrats to Brian on the win.

I also see lots of blogs in Wordpress and different bloggers changing platforms or to a total website of their own. I don't like change, and feel like I really know Blogger so I'm sticking with it!<br /><br />I also compose my blogs in the compose mode, but do switch over to HTML if I'm putting some code in for some reason. Code mostly scares me so I ignore it if possible :-)Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-59070973509756896862013-05-22T18:28:49.550-07:002013-05-22T18:28:49.550-07:00I've been on "blogger" since I start...I've been on "blogger" since I started 5 years ago as well, and really have no complaints.

I only use html mode to insert html and then check it in Compose. It is much easier to write in Compose mode.

I do as you do, use HTML to tweek when needed, also to insert Google forms for giveaways!<br />When you compose a new post, I love their option to use another post already posted, as a template. that saves me lots of time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-35458470688223821232013-05-21T19:09:40.985-07:002013-05-21T19:09:40.985-07:00*yay* Brian, happy reading and congrats :)

I accidentally deleted an entire review post one time. As I flipped from HTML to Compose, I tried deleting a large space in between sentences, and the entire rest of my review disappeared :( I wanted to cry.<br />I have thought about WordPress but I'm a sucker for routine and I don't think I'd leave Blogger anytime soon.<br />Happy Tuesday :)<br />The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-82394507692918231612013-05-21T17:29:15.289-07:002013-05-21T17:29:15.289-07:00Congratulations Brain, I mean Brian!
