Blogger vs Wordpress

Blogger (+)

• Very streamlined and user friendly. I was able to create posts with ease.
  
• Interface's tabbed design organizes the site very well and allows for easy navigation.
• Allows you to edit in html
  

Blogger (-)

• Small selection of templates
  
• Basic WYSIWYG editor
• Limited number of customizable profile settings.
• Basic classification system with tagging feature available but category labels are not.
  

Wordpress (+)

• Large number of templates.
• Allows you to edit CSS as well as html.
• WYSIWYG editor more robust.
• Better classification system with the ability to use categories.
• Ability to link categories to establish relationships between them.
• Provides ability to import from Blogger, Live Journal and other blog services.
• Large number of profile settings to adjust the properties of the blog.
• Offers a "paste from word" feature .
  
• When adding a link have more options to specify. For example, you can use the interface to specify that you want to link to open in a new window. In blogger you would have to edit the html code in order to achieve this.
• More control over site and many more editing options available.

• Some template designs do not support select feature. For example, initially I choose a design that doesn't support widgets which could be confusing to a novice.
• Dashboard is a bit busy and could be confusing to a new user.
  
• All of the editing and customizable features could be overwhelming to a novice user.
• Upgrades such as increased storage would need to be purchased for a small charge.
