well a lot depends on what kind of blogs you want to start. If you want a simple design for your blogs, blogspot is good enough for you.
That's because compared to google blog spot, Wordpress offers a lot of categories and is generally is more user-friendly for writing. Not to mention the unlimited number of themes, applications and plug-ins available for free online to enhance your blog.
Wordpress is certainly the more popular of the two since it is user friendly, feature rich which makes it ideal for blogs of every kind.

It will depend on the kind of blog you are going to start. They both have their own features and both work well. However, I will recommend using Wordpress. You will need to keep some patience until you have installed it. However, once installed it is very easy to manage wordpress.

Wordpress can be installed from the control panel. However blogger is almost ready to use and easy to manage. Wordpress gives a more professional look to your website.

Each one of them has a different reason to start off with a blog. You may want to have a look at different features of both and then make the decision for yourself. What suits for some other user may not be suitable for your website. However, the hundreds of plugins that come with wordpress help improve the Wordpress functionality.

The widgets and themes offered by wordpress make it different from other blogging applications. The customer service is good as well.

As far as I know it doesn't.

What you choose for your website totally depends on what type of website you want to put up. My personal suggestion will be to pick Wordpress.

The widgets certainly make it the most popular blogging software. But if you are a newcomer to blogging then blogger is the way to go.

In my opinion, Word press is the best. Because you will not get unnecessary ads with this blog services.

WordPress is one of the most efficient blogging platforms. Only the hosting charges have to be paid and then WordPress can be downloaded and installed for free. WordPress hosting will provide you with all the necessary resources to keep your website running even in the times of high traffic. Moreover you get access to w wide range of themes, templates and plugins to make your blog impressive.

It would be a better option to choose a Wordpress blog as this would allow you to make any changes you need to it and it will completely belong to you. The content you create will be yours and you can also use the hosting plan as per your needs. You can customize the Wordpress blog as your needs which is not possible with Google blog spot.

Wordpress seems very superior to Google blogspot in many ways. Garry makes a good point about the content. The biggest investment for most webmasters is time in creating content. That's reason enough to go with Wordpress.
