Blogger vs. WordPress

Two big contenders in free blog hosting are Blogger and WordPress. There are many differences and similarities in the two, the most significant being that WordPress is a program that is downloaded to your computer in order to build and manage your blog while Blogger manages and hosts your blog from Blogger.com. Here are some pros and cons to help you decide which service is right for you.

Blogger Pros:

• Free and extremely user-friendly. The dashboard makes editing very easy
• Free hosting. No need to find a host
• Mobile blogging

Blogger Cons:

• Limited number of options for customization
• Only 1 GB photo storage

WordPress Pros:

• Unlimited ways to customize your blog themes
• 3 GB photo storage
• Many people look up to blogs designed and hosted by you
• Hundreds of themes available if you choose not to customize your own

WordPress Cons:

• Need a host for your blog! Although there are free hosting sites available, this usually means there will be a cost
• Frequent releases of new versions require frequent updates
• Not as user-friendly as Blogger

Why Blog?

Blogging can be beneficial for so many reasons!

• A personal blog to entertain yourself, friends, family and others. These can contain anything you want them to! They can simply highlight your family life in order to keep other family members up-to-date on what is going on in your world, with pictures, ect.
• A business blog can be very successful in getting your name out there, showing what your business can do, and informing people of your service. Usually containing everything from products your company offers to a schedule of events/appearances.
• A portfolio blog is extremely effective in displaying your work and showing potential clients and employers what you're capable of achieving. You can portray anything from designs, photographs, additional work, and contact information.

The bottom line is, a blog can be anything and everything you want it to be!
