Comparing Tumblr & Blogger

In my opinion Tumblr is much easier to use. The layout of the website is much more user friendly than Blogger. Also, the actual blog pages look much cleaner than Blogger. Though I may be biased because I have used Tumblr before and have little experience with the Blogger website. I liked the pre-made themes that are available on Tumblr over the themes in Blogger. I also like the ability to choose the type of post that the user can create. On Blogger there is only one main type of post but you can do more if you know html coding.

First Blog Post for Web 2.0

I have created this Blogger account to be used for my immersive online class in the Boston College Woods School of Education. I have used Blogger before for another online class. Blogger is fairly simple and is pretty cool because everyones page can look different then the next. There are a lot of aspects of the page theme that can be edited and if you know how to use html codes then even more is possible.
