I currently have account for both but I want to stick to one. I like Wordpress's page navigation but I like blogger's adsense which you can add for free. While in wordpres you have to pay to put adsense. So, enlighten me please. Why do you use Wordpress? Why do you use blogger? Thanks a lot.

I've been using blogger a lot and find it easy to use. It has a few limitations though. Wordpress - I tried it some time ago but decided to stick to blogger.

I actually started with blogger and then switched to WP. Now I'm thinking to stick to blogger as well.

Its a matter of personal preference. Explore Wordpress, see its features and try out a blog there. If you like it you can actually use it!

YOu're absolutely right. Either of the two has one or two features that are not found in both. But you're right. I think it really depends which suits my preference. +++

Obviously I'll go for blogger. I have created one wordpress blog for experimentation purpose but it is the blogger where I feel much more at home. Above all, different easily installable applications available at blogger have made this the best blogging platform.

Currently I use both, but I'm changing all my Blogger-blogs to Wordpress. I find it much easier to work with, and because I work in niche markets it's better to have my own address and hosting, so I have to pay anyway. If you want to make money with your blogs, Wordpress is much better to work with. A while ago I bought a program that I use to make my niche blogs and it's quite good. If you're interested let me know I'll send you the link to that program.

I was actually experimenting on both and I found that I can't do away with either of them. With wordpress I can't easily put in html codes unlike blogger. Anyway, I would like to learn more of that link you mentioned.

Hi Jemina, I will send you that link in a message, 'cause I'm not sure if I can put that link in here. It's on its way.

Really? Wordpress is rather new. I only heard about it this year although it may have had started last year. So I tried both and see which one is gonna work for me. Since I don't have knowledge about html thingy, I reckoned that blogger is the best for me this time.

I like blogger better because I guess I've been using it longer than wordpress and I'm familiar with almost the whole thing. I also can easily edit the themes and all that. I like it. Whereas the wordpress, I don't know if there's any themes available other than those from wordpress.

You're right. Blogger seems to be more user-friendly especially for people who don't know anything about html like me.

I was earlier on blogger and now I use wordpress. I feel this the right transition. To start with wordpress is difficult to deal with.For someone new to blogging, blogger provides the right platform with everything simple and well within reach. But blogger cannot be customised to the extent wodpress can. But wordpress is not worth till u don't have your own hosting.Beacuse you cannot even upload a good theme from outside if your blog is hosted at wordpress server. But now that I have domain name and hosting space, I find wordpress as the best platform for blogging. With liberty to choose from most elegant themes(templates).with Wordpress widgets and plugins you can personalise your blog the way you want.

I got you. Since I am a newbie I have no knowledge about html and the likes, I find blogger more user-friendly. Although I like wordpress themes better but I have to resort to blogger this time as I really like their 3 column templates and it's easier for me to upload. However, I am also keeping my wordpress blog just in case.

Blogger for sure. As a beginner this gives more options and very easy to create pages and add stuffs. Wordpress is kinda advance user oriented and will also provide scripts to create it in own server. I still go with blogger.

I would lide to have a theme with page navigation. Do you know any blogger theme with it? I think I found one but when I tried to upload it in the html box blogger didn't recognize.
