HERE'S WHAT I THINK
Wordpress vs Blogger
Which side of the blogging table are you on? Do you prefer Wordpress or Blogger? Which is better in your opinion?
I'm a Wordpress fan myself, but when I started I had all Blogger blogs. Both have their pros and cons. I'll present both their strengths and weaknesses here, and let you decide.
Please join the debate, or let us know in the comment section what you think.

I think Wordpress is better. Blogger is OK if you running a personal blog and/or don't really care how much traffic you receive. If you're running a business blog, Wordpress rocks.

I agree with Derickkwa, I really do like blogger, but wordpress has way more options. I think blogger is the best blog for first time bloggers though.

I've used both before, but Wordpress gets the nod for me. They're both as easy to use, but Wordpress has got more functionality and more options. Blogger doesn't even have proper pages support.

Wordpress FTW! Akismet, a simple interface and loads of design options win it for me.

Blogger

Blogger is better. Easier to get started. Flexible. Free.
Wordpress has a few more powerful features, is a bit more complicated to install and use. If my clients wanted hired me as their Web professional, I would probably use Wordpress.
However, my clients want to be in control of their own content & web presence and Blogger is excellent for getting them started quickly and easily.

Blogger is by far easier for beginners and non-techie folks like me. I use both, but find that I post on my blogger blog more frequently -- just because it is simpler for me.

"The Scoop On Wordpress"
Pro-Wordpress Video!
The Pros of Using Wordpress
When I talk about Wordpress here, I'm going to talk about a self-hosted Wordpress blog, from Wordpress.org.1. The ability to customize your blog theme.
2. Wordpress is free, you only have hosting costs.
3. Most hosts offer one click installation through Akismet.
4. The Wordpress community has developed hundreds of plugins to help improve the Wordpress functionality.
5. You can choose from hundreds of free themes if you don't want to invest in a custom theme for your blog.

My Favorite Wordpress Book
WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
Amazon Price: $16.49 (as of 10/12/2008)
Unlike other blog hosts, WordPress gives you the ability to create a blog that is tailored to your own tastes and needs. Sure, the codes, tags, and terminology can seem a little intimidating at first, but WordPress for Dummies breaks it all down to show you just how intuitive, friendly, and extensible the software really is.
