I had originally planned to embed the Presidential Playlist Showdown from imeem today, in honor of our election day. At first I thought there was an a problem with ecto, but quickly realized that Wordpress doesn't allow any embedding of Flash. wtf? Really??
For me, the beauty of moving from iBlog to a modern platform was to take advantage of embedding as much as possible. I hopped over to Blogger and was happy to see this wasn't the case there. I started setting up a blog with Google, only to quickly realize there are several other benefits. So here's just a quick run-down of some quick, obvious differences for me
- Allows for "Pages" as menu items across the top
- Utilizes Categories and Tags
- Has a media library for hosting images
- Embedding of Flash
- More control over the template / CSS
- Rich Text editor as "Gadgets" or "Widgets"
Wow, after getting this out, I'm realizing this embed thing must be a BIG issue to lose those 3 features... Wow.
Here's a more complete comparison.
