We had earlier wrote about the difference between Blogger and Wordpress. After a month of weblogging I am convinced that Blogger is the better Free blogging platform than Wordpress.com
The reason is simple the blogger allows the access to HTML template ! This access to HTML has allowed me to modify, add widgets seamlessly. As a modder at heart it is exciting to modify !
For a noob I agree you can create much more professional looking blog with Wordpress.com but after a while you want turbo charge the blog you find at a dead end with WP !
Here are the suff I created for blogger in the past month which is impossible to do at Wordpress
Added a flash header
Custom Comment Box for Blogger
Now wordpress may be great when you have your own domain but as a free blogging platform Blogger rules !

Wordpress and Blogger
Now how many times you have seen in a blog at blogspot that they have moved to Wordpress ?
Most techies somehow are prefer (biased towards) wordpress and (sometimes fairly) prefer it ! And noobs start at blogger and move to worpress ! I on the other hand started at wordpress and moved to blogger within a day !
Most people believe that wordpress have more option that they can tweek and the answer is:
Not if you are hosting at wordpress.com if you are hosting wordpress at your own server then there are loads of plugins !
For starters you dont even have access to the template as if it was a bomb forget about tweeking it. No easy way to include adsense, no easy way to include videos, the list just goes on...!
So bottom line is if you have no plans of hosting your own site then forget wordpress and better stick to blogger.
