    Go with Expression Engine (www.pmachine.com). Loving it!
    But if you have to choose between blogger and wordpress, get your own domain and install wordpress on it.

    To begin with blogger might be good. Play with it for FREE :p. Then when you learn a little bit move on to wordpress. Wordpress is great:)

    yeah I go along with brainstormingin on this one. Have a play around on Blogger first, get the feel for using a piece of blogging software and then pick up your domain name and a host, install WordPress and import your old Blogger blog if you want to. I think that's the best way round if you've never blogged before.

    The nice thing about wordpress is that it's yours, you can customize it to your heart's content, and you can move it from one host to another (as you grow) ... while blogger you're stuck with their hosting and site options.

    The only advantage I see to blogger is that they help a little with traffic, and blogger sites seem to have a better sense of community.

    If you don't know what you are doing, and are just "testing out" things, use Blogger. It's easy to use and it's free. Make a blog, throw it away, make another one, etc. Once you know what you're doing, you can "graduate" to a Wordpress blog on your own domain hosted on a webhost.

    The infraction point is self-explanatory, isn't it?

    Wordpress is only better if it's hosted. Which is even better if you have a domain name. Not sure if you can host wordpress without one?

    The plugins are fantastic and usually the creators of the plugins are more than helpful to fix any bugs apparent.

    Col :)
