Blogger vs. WordPress Part 2

For the last week, I’ve been playing around with WordPress and considering switching. Although, I still can’t decide if I’m ready to mix pleasure (the blog) with business (the freelance stuff).

Several hours later, I’m almost done re-formatting all my posts, but still have the majority of my freelance stuff to import. But here’s the thing:

– WordPress formatting sucks. I still can’t figure out how to make two pictures or videos line up one below the other

– The archive dates on the side of each page are a different font per page! WTF. How in the world do you change that???

– The Wzywig editor is lame. My posts look nothing like what it shows me and I still can’t figure out how to easily change the font.

– The way you embed videos is kinda cool, but it doesn’t allow you to change the bar color. Now that’s just boring and stifles my creativity.

– It’s hard to see which post is unpublished vs. published. In blogger, there’s a giant orange “draft” next to the ones that haven’t been pushed live.

– WordPress still won’t let me incorporate a text box into the design so I can write my disclaimers.I used to think I had a fairly solid understanding of html, but apparently not. Anyway, if anyone has suggestions on how to fix the above, I’d love to hear them.
