For many who was interested in starting their own blog, the question had been which blog host is better. There are plenty of options out there now. Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr and many more.
However, looking at just Wordpress and Blogger. Which one is better?
Having used both sites now, this is what I think.
Blogger
Less structured as Wordpress. Beginners usually "gets it" straightaway when all one needs to do is just post blogs. And when the beginners begin evolving into intermediate level and start looking at Search Engine Optimization, Javascript, etc., then they'll find the ability to customize their template is a really powerful Blogger feature. But of course, not everyone is bothered with SEO
Wordpress
More structured than Blogger. Have a distinction between Page and Post. When a blogger starts a new blog in Wordpress, the blogger should spend some time doing the initial planning on how the blog structure will be like. Once that's done, then there's nothing much else to do but to blog posts. Wordpress takes care of the 'googlejuice' factor. But for those who uses the Wordpress.com hosting service, they will find that Wordpress imposes a lot of restrictions as in, no Javascript, no embedded form etc. No such restrictions if you have your own host, and installed Wordpress into the host.
Conclusion:
Wordpress is better for beginners, especially after some initial thought and planning.
Blogger is better for intermediate level bloggers, as they can customize to their hearts content.
Wordpress probably edges it in advanced level, as their structured blog holds more 'googlejuice' in the long run.
p/s: 'Googlejuice' - the factors that determines how Google Search ranks your site.
