word press is nice, i like blogger more! you can use ftp to post on your blog by blogger! though word press is highly recomended. wordpress has many free templates and mods, you can have a nice time using word press for blogging!
I have heard you cant put adsense on wordpress....but then some people say you can. Are there two types ? Wordpress.org & Wordpress.com Whats the difference ? Which one would I choose to put on my own website ? Or do they both do that ?
Are you going to have your own domain? If so, go wordpress. If you don't want to pay for your own hosting service and a domain, go with blogger, as they are free and allow you to put up ads.
