Pros and Cons of Self-hosted Wordpress vs Blogger Blogspot

7 reasons that convinced me to go back to Blogger Blogspot.

After speaking to a friend this morning about serious blogging for money, I see a strong reason to migrate back from Wordpress.  The main reason was website traffic handling.

Self-hosted Wordpress vs Blogger Blogspot.

  1. Hosted Wordpress encounters traffic spike issues if not on WP managed service. Blogspot likely has no issues.
  2. Both can integrate with Facebook Instant Articles.
  3. Wordpress is more business oriented with your own domain. It is also possible to redirect a domain to Blogspot.
  4. It's a hassle to maintain hosting technical and security issues. Blogspot manages the technical side of things.
  5. Both can make money with Adsense.
  6. If Wordpress hosting site fails, Google ranking will be affected badly. It's unlikely to happen to Blogspot as it belongs to Google.
  7. Your data on Blogspot may disappear one day because you don't own the site. The same will happen to your Wordpress site when hacked.  Always make regular backups. By the way, paid web hosting sites does even guarantee safe backups. 
One more... My Wordpress site will disappear when I am not on this earth anymore to pay the monthly hosting fees.

This is yet another one my experiment against popular advice.

Will it work? Time will tell.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name.
