my only experience blogging as been with the Blogger plateform. Those new to blogging I think would literally hit a wall trying to start blogging with the wordpress plateform. I also have read various articles in various professional blogs that the wordpress plateforms are much more prone to get spam comments, and who needs that? In the three monthes now that I have beenblogging,---its my impression that blogger is adding more and more fun features all the time----I have no desire to even try the other plateforms.

What you need to remember is theres two versions of Wordpress, there's .com and .org, the former being the free one and the one thats in compition with Blogger.
Blogger blows Wordpress.com out the water and as for the templates unless you PAY Wordpress.com you can't even EDIT the style sheet!!! You are also limited to the ones Wordpress supply, which is about 50, and thats it again unless you pay!
As for Blogger only having 30+ templates thats far of the mark Shawn, I've seen at least 200-300 in my time due to the fact that anybody can make a blogger skin if the can handle XML.
Blogger wins for me due to customisation. |

I use Blogger and nothing else.
I tried WordPress but when I couldn't manipulate the CSS to suit my needs, then I left. I know enough HTML to have my blog look (basically) how I want it.
And BBPress isn't a blogging site. It's a forum program. Two different animals.

Shawn was referring to WordPress as a platform.
The WordPress platform(Wordpress.org) is free, but requires setup with web hosting.
Wordpress.com comes with the Wordpress platform already installed and provides hosting, but is very limited.
Of course the Wordpress Platform with your own hosting provides more control than blogger.com.
Mr Old School 200-300 is small compared to the 1000+ themes offered to Wordpress.
Though there are some nice designs for Blogger popping up as of recently.

Blogger is the only plateform I have used, and I have no desire to get heavy into html coding, so perfectly happy to make use of the plug and play widgets one can use by using the blogger ad-a-gadget feature. One can easily change one's header if one grows tired of the current one.
In reviewing hundreds of professional blogs, it seems neither blogger or WordPress are dominant. For people who are not tecknophobes, the blogger plateform is simple and easy, hell this 71yo started his blog in less than five minutes.---that was back in late April/08. Guess I'm not a newbie anymore. (darn)
