I have 2 blogs, one with wordpress and one with bogger. I like wordpress better... both are real easy to use but imo wordpress is easier to customize.
Wordpress is definitely the best with the amount of sweet plugins they provide, but whatever you do make sure you host in on you're own domain for more flexibility and never having to worry about having a blog you worked on for like a year. (wordpress.org, then .com to register your api) Then for some reason some self absorbed ignorant desk jockey down at Google decides they don't like what you're doing and they decide to delete your blog that you spent the last year developing... 2 cents
You are a Newbie, so I suggest if you want to do somethign special like auto blogging, then use wordpress, if you just want to start into blogging then use blogger
Both.. I autoblog with both wordpress and blogger. Wordpress is best , but Google owns blogger and that's enough said about that. Use both, conquer and dominate! UG
