Excellent Comparision
One more hilarious comparison:
People using Blogger mostly migrate to Wordpress after some span of time, but the vice-versa is never true!
I’m really impressed with your article, such great information you mentioned here, thanks for your sharing and waiting to see your future posts.
Very nice post. It gives detailed differences of the two competing blog hosting sites. Thank you for sharing this post.
Looks like blogger.com is the best ever!.
Yes blogger is best...you can add banners and affiliates codes also...You can use flickr also for photo gallery.The only problem is that blogger gives hindreads of W3c validation errors.
Thanks
yeahh , i think no one is better than the other coz , both have unique functions and customizations , they both rock :P
blogger is best we can change the codes as for our requirments and we can add banners etc...
Excellent post. Information is great and very useful. Thanks for the share.

Great Post!!
This is a great comparison of blog sites.
I think editing of comments in Wordpress is pretty useful, it lets you respond to people's questions within their posts, in italics or bold to differentiate your responses. Saves on comment thread length and looks a lot cleaner.
Great Post Excellent Comparison
very informative posting, This is a great comparison of blog sites.
That's a pretty tough comparison. It's really hard to compare those two. They both have different and unique styles. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Maybe I'll go for Wordpress because of its advantage in multimedia settings but it's really tough to choose from those two. Both of them are great and effective. They just have different styles. Anyway, thanks for this comparison.
as for free blog service I'll choose blogger/blogspot but for self hosted blog WP is my only choice :D
for free blog service blogspot offer you more customization than wordpress
I will always prefer Wordpress over blogger for my blogs. the major reason is wordpress is dynamic and is fully customizable, its been the most favourite for all the users across the world. however, i now see that blogger too is trying hard, but it will never be able to take on Wordpress.
It's very nice comparison between Blogger Vs Wordpress. Thanks for your information.
