One more benefit that we get by using WordPress is that it will not be blocked even though restrictions are set. Blogger, blogspot.. these will be blocked because of the word ‘blog’ in them. WordPress bloggers need not bother and it continues to impress them when they find that they can view their blogs in office too.

I used to administer a self-hosted WordPress blog and loved it! It was flexible and I found a lot of resources to be able to add functionality easily without having to hack the page code personally.

That said, it *was* self-hosted. If you don’t want the hassle of full administration, then you are naturally going to have more limited functionality.

Now I am off to continue looking for a code snippet to add Recent Comments to a relative’s Blogger account. It must be out there somewhere.

I have an account on both blogger and wordpress – and have been dallying the serious blogging, simply coz I can’t make up my mind which of the two blogs should I “activate”!
After reading your post, I think am gonna go ahead with WordPress.

WordPress is meant to be a software that people install on their own domain and hosting. WordPress.com provided a free option for people that don't have a domain/server, so the functionality is more limited. If you have your own domain/hosting, then you can add javascript, customize CSS, and add Google Analytics to WordPress. With that in mind, WordPress is by far better than Blogger or any of the other blogging software.

Wow..That is really informative comparison. I always wonder why some people stick to wordpress, while some are with blogspot…
