Snap Decisions with Blogging Tools

User Comfort is more important than features!

Choosing a blogging service that is right for you!

After researching three different blogging services, I chose Blogger (aka: Blogspot). The reason for this is because I already have a "Professional" Google Account that I can tie my name to.

WordPress, Snapchat, and Blogger were the three services that stuck out in my mind during my research. They weren't the only ones I looked at, but these three highlight the importance of User Comfort when exploring a new platform for personal expression.

WordPress: 

Out of all the blogging services I looked at, WordPress was the most impressive in terms of features and customization. WordPress makes expressing yourself easy with Plugins for different web-based technology to one-click-and-it's-up Themes to truly make the site your own! But that's not all, you can also host your own hand built website from WordPress, and create themes for yourself and others.

With a comprehensive feature list, unlimited possibilities, and glowing reviews, WordPress really blew my mind!

Snapchat: 

I had heard a lot of good things from Snapchat. It seems everyone uses it, from celebrities and radio DJs, to everyday bloggers. The ability to share content with other people is important for building an online community.

However, when I went to Snapchat, this is what I found.

... WHAT?!?!
Where is the content, where is the homepage! Where is ANYTHING???

This was most likely just a hiccup, some small little problem that could easily be fixed within minutes. But at the time of this writing I still cannot get Snapchat to respond, and as a first time blogger that seriously impacts my trust that my blog will be online reliably.

NOPE! Spock help be out!

Spelling mistakes are fun unprofessional

Blogger:

Because Blogger is tied to your Google Account, and the fact I am lazy have a professional Email Account for business, and that Blogger is easy to set up; it was a no-brainer.

Are there superior services to Blogger? Yes
Are there better ways to express myself? Yes
Do the fancy features outshine ease of use and user comfort? NO

Snapchat not only failed to capture my interest, it out right scared me away. And that is a major issue, and highlights that a user's First Hand Experience with your product or service is the most important, and being reliable and welcoming is paramount!

Otherwise the user will make a Snap Decision

Puns aren't funny... get out!
