Blogger vs. WordPress and John the Baptist

It’s been a year or two since I switched my blog from blogger to WordPress. The main reason I did it was so I could schedule my posts and not be a slave to my blog. I LOVED the schedule feature, but noticed I lost a lot of followers. Still, it made my life easier until blogger upgraded their software.

Now I’m still wondering the reason for my lack of commenters and readers, though I know there’s lots of lurkers out there and I know my content has been “lacking” the last year or so, but could it possibly be because of the blogger, wordpress switch?

Is there sort of a blogger loyalty among users, or is it really all about content and how much I visit other? Which I agree has been slacking, but even when it wasn’t I still didn’t gain the followers. I’m considering switching my personal blog back to blogger, though keeping my professional one of WordPress. Anyone have thoughts or opinions? I’m not even sure it will help.

God’s been whispering something to me for a while and I’ll probably post on it later, in depth, when I figure it out, but are some people meant to be John the Baptists, loners forging the path for the “real” ministers in life? Now I’m not discounting John. He was one of the greatest prophets and pointed the way to Jesus, but he lived a solitary life. He did his thing and got out of the way for Jesus to his. But was his ministry any less meaningful? I don’t think so. Even Jesus needed to be baptized by John. It was necessary. So am I here in the blogosphere, just maybe not to the masses like some others.

Just some thoughts banging around as I’m beginning to relate to John more and more and just trying to figure out where I fit in this blogosphere and this writing world.
