    Either one is fine. Join one and get your feet wet. They both are very popular. But if you are starting a business go with self hosted WordPress.

    My bottom line advice echos the last, sign up for both and see what you like. It depends on what you want to do as well. If you are going to get a site.wordpress.com or site.blogspot.com - you will notice little difference, just that Wordpress themes rock the house, blogger themes aren't as good. If you eventually want to get your own domain, then go with wordpress hands down.

    When I was first getting into it, I also looked at weebly. Very easy to use as well. Over-all, Wordpress is the way to go. You can use it on a beginning level and grow to expertise. Weebly, Blogger, etc - were designed for very basic blogging. Good luck!

    Either one will work just fine. Wordpress can take a little longer to learn, but that is because it has more options. But one day you will learn how to use it, and then it will be easy.

    In the long run, wordpres is more flexible and has more options then blogger.
