The first was that I wanted greater power and flexibility than Blogger provides. Blogger is truly push-button publishing. It is so easy to use that anyone who can write an email can start a blog. But, as Scoble was recently talking about, it is hard to get the balance right between making something easy to use and making it powerful enough. An example was the Blogger feed. I use Feedburner, and wanted to replace the Atom feed automatically generated for me with the Feedburner feed that provided an associated style sheet and stats in the metadata. In this instance, Blogger was not very usable, because there was no simple way to do this. I had to search hard on the internet to find the solution, and even then I was unable to remove the Atom feed from the choice of feeds. Here Blogger had gone overboard on usability. It had made the product too easy to use, in the process removing functionality. [...] [...] There were two reasons I decided to move from Blogger to WordPress.

It would have allowed the music to be played, or a photographic slideshow of the decedent's life and interests or even a video about the decedent. All that would have been required is an iPod, speakers and a monitor. Simple, but thorough. But, an iPod would have been just what was needed at the funeral home in this kind of scenario.
