So here I am writing you from Blogger, yet after making the switch to Wordpress, I can give you more than just a few reasons why wordpress is better than blogger.
1. Host it yourself
When you use blogger, you rely on blogger. If blogger’s website is down or not working probably, you can’t update your blog. On the other hand, Wordpress is hosted completely on your own server. All that matters is that your website hosting is up and running. You can still post even if the entire Google network crashes.
2. Millions of Widgets
The best thing I’ve noticed after my switch to Wordpress is the widget support. Widgets allow you to add code to your website without actually touching any code. Unlike blogger, where I manually go in and touch code (I use bloggers first version). Though the new version of blogger does offer widgets, the amount of widgets does not nearly compare to that of Wordpress. I’ve easily installed related post widgets, favorite post widgets, as well as widgets designed to increase subscribers.
3. User Login
After upgrading Sampleaday.com to Wordpress, I’ve been able to offer users their own login accounts. This means users are able top easily contribute to the site, making it more of a community page rather than just me writing. Wordpress allows you to create your own login to allow users to self register themselves. Though blogger does offer the option to self register users, but this takes extra time and effort.
4. Better SEO Management
The tools regarding Wordpress SEO management is limitless in comparison to blogger. Blogger simply doesn’t have the same tools or plugins that are currently available for wordpress.
Blogger’s Advantages
Though I do recommend starting a blog with Wordpress over Blogger, there are actually many advantages to Blogger. For one, Google has optimized Blogger for its own search engine. Secondly, Blogger is much easier to install and manage than Wordpress. With Blogger, you just register for an account and everything is already setup. Point and click installation.

I much prefer wordpress also. I have used Blogger and it pales in comparison to Wordpress. It is just so much easier to handle and to get a grip to.
