The Blogger followers widget uses Google’s Friend Connect. There may be a plugin that also does the same thing. Searching the available WP plugins for “Friend Connect” may yield a plugin.

There are several benefits:

1. You have total control over every aspect of your blog. It also provides more flexibility, such as separate pages for each type (static, home and post), so you can customize your blog further.

2. Thousands of plugins to enhance your blog. Too many to name here, but there are some for SEO, forms, and security.

3. Large support base in case you have issues. You can find help on just about any topic for Wordpress.

Great article. I’ve been thinking of switching my Web Traffic Blogger blog to Wordpress for some time now. Just feared the difficulty of doing so amongst other things. Nice article though and very helpful. Thank you.

I had the same thoughts about switching also, but it really wasn’t that difficult. I don’t regret the move, and I still have blogger blogs where I am still writing posts.

I don’t think it is a great template, but I did create it myself. It is simple – just the way I like it.

Thanks for your post. I came across your blog while looking for help to post simultaneously to wordpress and google blogger.

I started with Wordpress after checking reviews on Wired and now use it as a teaching tool and media platform fopr my students at Notre Dame University in Fremantle Australia – I’ll let you know when we go live. Wordpress is ideal for media rich material and for just $20 a year, several Gig is awesome.

Are you able to help with posting to 2 blogs at once.

Thanks in anticipation, and for thinking of others as you discover useful things
