Reason Why Blogger Using Wordpress
August 24, 2008
New blog writers everywhere are faced with a serious dilemma when they first reach the Internet and must decide which blogging platform is best for their new website. There are actually dozens of options on the market, ranging from the basic blog settings of the social networks to the self-hosted open sources software solutions.
However, for most new bloggers and those who don’t want to pay for their blog, the choice boils down to one of two websites: Blogger and Wordpress. These two services have become synonymous in recent years with the blogging phenomenon, making up a massive percentage of the Internet’s most popular blogs. For that reason, there has been a bit of discussion over which service is better.
Provided here is a solid answer to that question once and for all, 7 reasons why Blogger is in fact better than Wordpress. These comparisons relate to the free accounts available from both Blogger and Wordpress.
Integrated Login with Your Google Account
With the ability to easily connect all of your Google accounts, this is a big plus for Blogger. Many of the most useful features for a website are offered by Google, including AdSense, AdWords, and Webmaster tools for Google indexing. Instead of adding code into your templates, something that can quickly become confusing and result in broken websites, Blogger allows you to simply click a button and integrate AdSense or banners into your site.
This allows you to use the same login information for all Google services and that sets Blogger a few steps ahead. Wordpress is an open sources solution, meaning that all extra services must be manually integrated into your blog after you have signed up for your account. Read more

Wordpress is an unbelievably powerful tool for the online business owner. If you already have a site, all you need to do is add a Wordpress blog to a directory on your domain.
For instance, if your site is at www.yoursite.com, you would simply install Wordpress into a directory like /blog/. The Wordpress blog will then be found at www.yoursite.com/blog/. You can use any directory name you want; ‘news’ and ‘updates’ are two other good choices.
Most hosts come with a cpanel account with fantistico. You can actually install Wordpress through fantistico with just a couple of clicks. It takes less than 5 minutes. The Wordpress backend is simple to navigate, so once you have it set up, it won’t take you long at all to become familiar with it. You’ll be able to make your first post within minutes. Read more

If you are thinking to start your own blog then WordPress is the right tool to go for. My friends have been using it for long time and some of them have built impressive blog site using WordPress.
