If you're just starting blogging, I think Blogger would suit you better. Because it easier to setup and in the very end, you could monetize your blog. Wordpress, on the other hand, works pretty good only if you quite familiar with html and blogging things, as you can customized you blog and add tons of plugins. But unfortunately, you can't add adsense to your blog. Well, you can add your adsense account to your WP blog, but you must get ur own domain, and host your own WP blog, which is not free, so I don't think it can be compared to Blogger anymore..
It seems that most of the members here are recommending WordPress. But it really depends on the person which platform he is going to use. Blogger is also easy to use but limited features.
For me I prefer WordPress because it is easier for me to use unlike Blogger, it's hard to understand the codes there and I am not that techy to understand the whole HTML script in just one page! Unlike WordPress, it's easy coz there's a separate codes for Header, Footer, Single Post, Page and etc....
Blogger is good for those who dont want to py for hosting and also want to monetize their blog, while wordpress is great (and much much better) for self hosted blogs
i'm vote to wordpress i like it because i found a lot of plugins that help me to make blog that i want
Wordpress does seem to be easier to make it look more professional but if you're good at html and scripts then you can make your blogger blog look good too - I did
you should start with blogger first its easier to learn, and it would help you understand wordpress a little better. Wordpress or blogger i love them both and i use them both there is only one thing with wordpress you wil need a domain name and hosting inorder to add any affiliate links that can earn you any type money, with blogger you can start earning right away a plus if your looking to learn on your own, blogger would be your choice .

Dunno about wordpress, but as i know they don't have stupid robots who detects your blog as a spam, when its not a spam and locks it forever. So wordpress all the way.
Yeah right, that's the advantage of WordPress. WordPress and Blogger are both for beginners but WordPress is more professionally organize than Blogger.
there is a lot of positive about blogger, I agree that, for newbie blogger more easy than WP, and for "the master" blogger is much easier to set up many blog to reach good earning from adsense, because is easy and simple, doesn`t take much time
if you are talking about Wordpess.com Blogging so that is not good, we cant verify it for webmasters tools
Blogger is definitely easier to use but it's pretty nice for beginners. Wordpress on the other hand is more organized and professional look. They are both, but wordpress is best for SEO.
