I prefer the Wordpress interface, but it's been ages since I've looked at Blogger.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Me too -- generally speaking, Blogger gives you more theme choices, but WP gives you much better admin tools. Still, some people really love or hate one or the other, and there's no way to know until you've played around with them.

Blogger has a very simple interface, but then offers you way way less opportunities for customization, both of appearance and customization like extra sidebars.
WordPress comes with PHP functions that tie into a backend MySQL database, thousands of free themes (i.e. HTML/CSS/PHP that arranges pictures and text), the ability to create your own theme from scratch, and control panels to deal with plugins, handling comments including spam trapping, and is scaleable up to your industrial-size sites.

I use Blogger and like it well enough for my simple needs.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I dislike blogger personally, but wordpress doesn't let you delete your account, so it just depends on how static you want your thing to be.
Hey, so. Is is possible to hack a 1g iphone to work on a pre-paid month by month chip?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want this pen. That's so cool.

is there a word processor for the mac that can find homonyms or wrong homonyms in a document? Further, is there a word processor that can find inconsistent verb tenses?

Very! But (as MANY of the commenters point out) you'd think the designer would know the difference between RGB and CMYK.

Wondering whether anyone might suggest what I can do about viewing the site from my phone. The pages that list threads are fiine, but when I go in to a thread, all the headers and text get smooshed over to the right in a three character column. It's a mystery to me. Other sites seem OK. Can I do something in CSS, maybe? Probably not enough info. to help, but I figured I'd ask.
Maybe the answer is to get a new phone...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
