If you host your blog on Google’s Blogspot or use Blogger; you are giving Google the right to control and access your content and information. Even shut down your blog when they see fit to do so.

What would you do if you woke up one morning to discover that Google has removed your Blogger.com blog after two years of blogging? Crazy eye opening article that many Blogger.com bloggers should be more aware of.

It all boils down to the TOS "The Fine Print", you know the only pages in history that are longer than the typical Internet marketer's product promotion page. :)

It might be a good idea for people to read this things... while they are rather long and also written in a way that only a laywer would typically understand, you'll be able to sniff out a few of the terms that you might or might not agree with. And when you do, you might consider using other publishing platforms. Then again, you too might also be cool with it.

Speaking as a disgruntled blogspot blogger, I have to agree wholeheartedly with Loren's post. Wordpress all the way for me.

I've been using blogger for about a year. At first it was great. Now that my blog is more popular and I want to customize it more I regret starting there.
