Blogger v/s WordPress: A comparison

Blog is a Web site on which an individual or group of users record opinions, information, etc. on a regular basis. Blogging has been around for almost 15 years now. Blogs have evolved from being personal online journals to fully functional self-advertising, business and social media tools. Websites have changed, self-expression has evolved from personal story-telling to video blogs, and new blogging outlets have emerged. The most widely used platforms right now are Blogger and WordPress.In this article i will provide the comparison between the famous free websites Blogger and WordPress First of all let me say a few lines of introduction about both of these. 

Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at a subdomain of blogspot.com.

WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. WordPress is currently the most popular blogging system in use on the Web.

Running a site is enjoyable, but you have to determine certain things for yourself from a professional perspective. If you are a started, it is always suggested to opt Blogger. If you are serious about your blogging, then you are suggested to choose WordPress Self-Hosting domain and there are many other WordPress Hosting services available. You can enjoy the power of WordPress with these Self-Hosted blogs.

Key Differences between Blogger and WordPress:

Dashboard

(a dashboard is a user interface that, somewhat resembling an automobile's dashboard, organizes and presents information in a way that is easy to read.)

Blogger: It has an updated dashboard design. More features are available, but to make use of all of them, it is compulsory to enable JavaScript.
WordPress: The Dashboard in WordPress increases the speed for the dial-up users so that they can easily post an entry without facing too much difficulty, or wasting time.

Languages

Blogger: Blogger by Google supports only 50 languages.

WordPress: WordPress supports nearly 120+ languages.

Domain Names

Blogger: You can transfer your domain for free or you can buy one through the BlogSpot interface. And, once again free blogs are created as sub-domains with URLs like xyz.blogspot.com.

WordPress: The user has to pay some amount in order to transfer an existing domain in case of the paid service, but of course you can create free blogs on wordpress.com in form of a sub-domain like abc.wordpress.com. Wordpress comes in two flavors: wordpress.com and wordpress.org. The .com version is the free side of wordpress and inserts ads into your blog. The .org side hosts wordpress pay to play features

Image Storage

Blogger: When you upload photos to Blogger they are stored in Google’s photo system, Picasa. There you can browse your images and much more. In blogger there is 1 GB of storage space (images under 2048×2048 do not count towards that limit, so it’s actually MUCH more than 1 gig) for storing images. If you required more space, you’ve to pay for more space.

WordPress: It has 3GB of storage space. But, if you want more space then you’ll have to upgrade by paying some money.

Categories

Blogger: There is an option called Labels, which serves as a tag, and posts are archived in monthly and yearly manner.

WordPress: It has an option to upload categories and tags.

Static Pages

Blogger: You can create up to twenty static pages, but like WordPress those static pages cannot be placed on the home page easily. If you want to show such static page as homepage, you've to edit the template HTML which is painfully complex for many users.

WordPress: You can create as many pages or posts that can be listed in the home page.

Money 

Blogger: Blogger supports Google's Ad sense service as a way of getting revenue from running a blog. Blogger can be optionally integrated with Google +

WordPress: It doesn't support monetization. There are tons of Blogger Blogs ranking in the top page in Google for various keywords, but you won’t see too many WordPress.com blogs ranking high.
