I have a blog with both because I saw that Wordpress had to offer a little more what I was looking for...until I saw that you need to pay...

Which of the 2 blog hosters do you prefer?

I noticed with blogger it isn't nessesary to pay for anything for like codes to show up or what have you. I am trying to think of which blog to ditch and which one to keep...

WordPress is free, but you do need to buy a domain name to use. It is worth it, I use both and I like WP much better. In fact I wrote a post on it...

Why WordPress?

I LOVE blogger - so easy and very simple. It's easy to customize and update and I love the features. I'm more artsy-minded and that appealed to me a lot more than wordpress.

I've got both as well...all though WP looks cooler and more fun! They throw charges at you left and right! So my main one is blogger

I am wishing I hadn't gone with Wordpress because they don't allow you to put ads on your site...besides that though I love it.

I was debating about it before I started blogging. And I kept hearing you have to pay for WordPress so I went to blogger which I LOVE it!!!

I had blogger for a lonnnnng time. I felt like I was being limited, and I was. When I switched to WP I was AMAZED at how many things I could do with a little bitty blog like mine! You can check my layout out, at http://www.randomosityblog.com -- it was free. There are TONS of free ones.

However, I just started a new project and went to blogger because it was easier to buy a domain there. Still trying to decide whether I want blogger or WP for that one...

I use Blogger. Never had any problems with it.

Used WordPress in the past and had a ton of technical issues with it.

I use Blogger because I already use many google products and it seemed like the logical choice.

So far, I really like the functionality and it's general ease of use. A friend of mine used WordPress and enjoys it, but it is more difficult to manage and I'd be concerned about fees; I'm not willing to pay to blog.
