    Wordpress is considered better than blogger - but make sure you don't use the free Wordpress service as its very restrictive on what you can do to the site (for instance, you can't add javascript or flash)

    You cant add adsense to wordpress.com blogs.
    The best is to self host blogs using wordpress script or use blogger.

    With blogger .com you can use adsense ads even on the free blogs.WP doesnt allow you to put ads on your free WP blogs.You will have to buy a hosting account and a domain if you go by that..

    Secondly Blogger allows custom domains.That is if you can buy a domain name blogger will host your blog for free on the google servers..

    Lastly More plugins and customisation are available for WP than for Blogger..
    You can find some help for blogger here at Blogger Widgets

    Neither.. Just install wordpress on your own domain.. or Wordpress MU on your own domain giving you your very own "blogger.com"..

    wordpress is a little bit better than blogger, and also provide more various templates. but you can add google adsense in your blog, unless you're a paying member.

    Blogger.com is better than wordpress.com. But when self hosted, nothing can beat wordpress.

    between the two, i'm for blogger.com.
    it's less restricted.

    but yay for self-hosted wordpress! ;)

    Both works well for adsense (though I did hear rumors about google leeching profits off blogger blogs, it could just be rumours).

    I would stick to wordpress for blogging just because of the many features they offer (and don't forget about a diverse amount of themes to chose from!).
