About Blogger: Unique Blogging Experience

Advantages and Disadvantages of Blogger (Compared with WordPress):
Blogger exposes their pages in the CSS of their templates. The entire HTML page is exposed in the CSS. Users are able to have more control over pages than in WordPress, at least when both are free. This flexibility is welcome by tech-savvy users who want to gain more control over the design of their blogs. For example, many users have complained that there is no button to change font colors. This has to be done manually by inserting tags.
Blogger allows java scripts in widgets. WordPress does not allow the use of Java scripts in widgets. This advantage of Blogger allows Bloggers to have a comprehensive method of tracking visitors, for instance. Bloggers would be able to know how many visitors were on their pages, how long they stayed there, what they looked for, etc. For example, Blogger allows you to use Statcounter which uses Java scripts thus making it more comprehensive than SiteMeter offered by WordPress.
Backed by Google, searches appear to be better and faster. New blogs also show up in search engines faster than WordPress because of the power of Google. If you want your blog and your posts to be search-able faster, Blogger is the place to go.
Blogger is highly recommended for beginners who are blogging for fun and are not really tech-savvy. Meanwhile, WordPress is better for organizations or individuals who want to install and host their own installation of WordPress and also customize it.
Blogger is free with no strings attached. Meanwhile, WordPress is free only until you want to add features like Adsense ads or if you want to display your blog on your own domain.
Blogger is less technical intensive. Blogger's XML templates allow you to drag and drop widgets. You really do not need to know HTML to customize your blog. It is good for someone who just wants to blog and nothing else.
Availability of third party Blogger templates makes it a good choice for someone who wants variety. If you don't want the templates that Blogger offers, you can find free templates created by the good Samaritans of the Internet.
Many users have admitted the fact that WordPress has better page design templates compared to Blogger. For the savvy designer, Blogger may not be the blog tool of choice.
Although Blogger gives users access to html code of the pages, WordPress has a wide array of tools including plug-ins than Blogger has.
Blogger is not flexible when it comes to the ability to file your posts in traditional categories, but WordPress offers this feature.
Another inflexibility is Blogger's inability to let posts show up on future dates. WordPress either offers this option or allows users who host WordPress on their own domain to do this.
Blogger does not allow users to Own or Brand their pages. You cannot install Blogger on your own domain. Neither can you brand Blogger to your own taste. Customization is limited.
Blogger allows your "enemies" to flag your blog to be blocked. You essentially don't own your blog and even if you want to own it, you cannot.
Because you do not own your Blogger, you have limited space to load files. You may not be able to load some types of files and the size of files you can load may be limited.
Because you do not own your blog, Google can decide to delete your blog and you will not be able to do anything. If some technical problems arise which makes your blog disappear, you may not even get the support you need to restore your blog.
Many Blogger users have complained about the lack of plug-ins compared to WordPress.
While Blogger may show up quickly in Google searches, its format is not friendly to other search engines. Also, it does not allow automatic pinging. Essentially you need to ping each post manually by using a service like Pingomatic or Pingoat.
It may appear that Blogger has more disadvantages than advantages. However, depending on your reason for blogging and how tech-savvy you are, Blogger may be a good choice for you. Many reviewers recommend Blogger for beginners and also casual bloggers.
