Since yesterday I have been debating about what I want to really do with this blog and I've decided I want some of your opinions.
I currently have a WordPress blog and have been blogging there since February. I'm currently on the fence about whether I really want to use Blogger instead of WordPress. I think my only real reason for not just jumping into Blogger is that I started with WordPress so that's what I'm already comfortable with. I am not saying the WordPress is better for me than Blogger. In fact, I think Blogger might be more suited to me because (this is my opinion) Blogger is a more beginner friendly and not quite as serious of a blogging site compared to WordPress. Blogger allows for easier personalization of your blog, especially changing colors and how and where things are laid out.
Sounds like I'm all for Blogger then right? Well I would be except I don't want to lose the posts I've done on WordPress. I've Googled and the instructions I found for converting WordPress posts to Blogger tell me I should have done this when I first created my blog. Now the only way I know that I can convert my old posts is to copy and paste them individually. I have no problem doing this unless I take the time to do it and then end up say, "Blogger isn't for me I'm going to go back to WordPress."
I'm sure those of you who use Blogger will say, "Go for it!" and those of you who use WordPress will say, "Stick with us!" My friend Alexis who recently started up a blog (http://alexisanton.blogspot.com/) has used both Blogger and WordPress and votes Blogger. But, she started with Blogger not WordPress, so does that make her biased one way or the other? Maybe, maybe not.
Ultimately I know it is my decision as it is my blog. I suck at making decisions on my own. I always look for guidance from someone else. So here I am, looking for some guidance.
What are your thoughts about the situation I am in?
What should I do with my WordPress blog while I make a decision? Do I keep posting and then convert those posts (if I decide on Blogger)? I do have posts I've been promising to publish for a while now so it's not as if I have nothing to write about haha.
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions on this!

Under Construction
I started following a few blogs and allowed people to see that I was following them so I figured I better put this out there. This blog is currently under construction as I am just getting started, as in I signed up and started creating it last night. I currently have a WordPress blog that I'm going to work on converting over once I have this blog set up and looking like I want it to. Until I convert feel free to read my blog over at http://countrystrong21.wordpress.com/!
Any tips or suggestions of things I must include on my blog let me know! I'm new to blogger so I'm still learning.
Update: I do not think I will be converting my WordPress blog over to Blogger. One reason being there is no simple way to convert those posts to Blogger. A second reason I'm now on the fence about whether I want to use Blogger as I've read some fellow bloggers who say they have trouble commenting on Blogger blogs. I have enough trouble getting people to comment on my crazy blog (my own fault) so I don't need those few people to not be able to comment on my blog at all. Decisions decisions to be made....
