    Blogger is easier to setup and maintenance, but WP more adjustable for customization and SEO. For stand alone blog, I suggest you WP

    Like everything else that Google touches, Blogger has been instrumental in bringing a practice that was the privy of the technologically savvy into the mainstream. In this case it is the habit of keeping an online journal. Blogger's advantages are that it is extremely easy to use and very quick to set up. Because it is owned by Google, Blogger integrates well with the full line of Google applications. You can add your blog link to your Google Chrome page, add it to your bloglines feed, and find all sorts of add ons that help blogger to run better and do more things. Google has kept up well with the newest waves of technology and now allows you to purchase your own domain name for $10 per year and host your blog on your own domain name. This is obviously more professional-looking than having yourname.blogspot.com and is an automatic choice for most business-minded bloggers. Although the option for using your own domain name does bring Google back into the mainstream, most people consider a Blogspot blog to be less professional-looking than a WordPress blog.

    Unless you are very interested in having your blog integrated with other features of your Google account, WordPress is probably the platform that you will want to use for your business blog. Because WordPress is open-source software it is constantly updated. The basic code is very light, and the flexibility is in the add-ons that can help your WordPress blog do almost anything you could possibly want. WordPress prides itself on being easy to install and brags that you can have a blog up and running in just 5 minutes. Even if you opt to pay for a domain name and web hosting WordPress makes this easy by recommending several well known hosting services. There are a multitude of templates available so that you can make your blog look exactly the way you want it to.

    I like Wordpress better than blogger even though it seems like it is easier to start quickly with blogger. With wordpress, I own the domain, with blogger..google owns it. To me each of them serve a different purpose, for example if I want to use blogger to drive traffic to a specific website than it is quick to setup. If I want to sell a product then I usually set up wordpress, because it is easy to upload and it is user friendly. Less restrictions with wordpress and can customize it more. These are just my ideas. Hope this helps.

    Many people like Wordpress because they are more user friendly and are far easier to do SEO compared to Blogger. But I find that blogger are more "google" friendly than WP maybe basically they are using google platform too...?

    I go for wordpress, too. More control if you choose to self-host a wordpress blog. Plenty of plugins available for a self-hosted wordpress blog.
