I use both Blogger and Wordpress and I am torn which I like the best.
I'm curious which you like best? Below I found a comparison chart between the two.
Please post your comments and thoughts!
Feature | Blogger.com | Wordpress.com |
---|---|---|
Dashboard | New: Updated dashboard design. More features, but is unusable without JavaScript. It's an Opt-in alternative for now. | The WP.com dashboard renders fast and dial-upusers can switch to the mobile interface to post an entry quickly. |
Themes and customization | Blogger introduced a collection of easy-to-customize templates with mobile versions and Google Web Fonts. Earlier templates can still be edited, but without all the new features. | No template editing. Style sheet editing is only available as a paid upgrade. Most of the 100+ themes let you upload a header image. Many of them have additional options. |
From a mobile | Blogger Help has a section with information about mobile blogging. | m.wordpress.com/Applications exist for a wide range of mobile devices |
Visitor Stats | Built-in visitor stats. | Built-in visitor stats. |
