    Chose Blogger
    I've selected Blogger due to its simple user interface and open source feature. I can make my pages within a few minutes and add them to my website quickly, unlike other software, Iike Wix or WordPress, which is more advanced and requires pre-learning to make efficient use of …

    I've used both extensively and like both of them. Each has its strengths and weaknesses and some of the difference is through the use of HTML vs CSS. Both function well for this purpose and both allow for customization of elements, including sidebars and widgets. One major …

    WordPress is a more sophisticated version of Blogger. It utilizes coding and more in-depth features. If you have the skills or the time to learn the skills, WordPress is a great host. But Blogger is great for information distribution and a great introduction to blogging in …

    Chose Blogger
    Blogger doesn't compare to WordPress. In my opinion, and as I've stated in previous answers, it is limited with integration, functionality, and other capabilities. It's no longer a standout in the marketplace. It was a great tool for beginners in the sphere 10 years ago, but …

    We started out using a WordPress plugin for doing blogging and found that we had to test out numerous ones due to them just plan not working or they were built very poorly that it hurt the performance of the site. The plugins we tested didn't have the ability to allow us to …

    Tumblr is very simple and seems to have more community adoption when compared to Blogger. Blogger gives you a little more control over the site when compared to Tumblr, though.
    WordPress outperforms Blogger on nearly all fronts. Blogger is free, however. So, if cost savings is …

    Chose Blogger
    Blogger is free, integrates with a Google profile and is easy to manage and update. If you dont want to get too concerned with backend code, it is a great tool. Perhaps not a trendy as Wix, Medium, or WordPress, as it has not been given new templates in a long time. It is not …

    It's been a long time, so my perceptions may be obsolete, but I didn't find WordPress easy to use.
    Chose Blogger
    Blogger was free to use, which is the main thing. And it was super easy to use and get started with.

    Chose Blogger
    Blogger has its niche market because it’s a free, easy-to-use blog platform that’s been around for a long time and owned by Google.

    Chose Blogger
    We went with Blogger because you get the backing and up to date technology of Google since they own Blogger. We also chose Blogger because it is completely free and as a small non-profit that is very important to us. Lastly, it is easier to use than any of the other blog …

    It's the best option for hosting a blog on a website where you can also integrate all major marketing tools and platforms. WordPress gives you [the] freedom to use whatever tool works best for you and integrate it with your website and blog. It makes tracking, measuring, and …

    I'ved used Blogspot, Blogger, Tumblr, and custom made blog platforms that I've built. Nothing really compares to WordPress. It really has every feature someone needs. It has administrative functions, media, links, keywords, videos, I mean you can do everything on this platform. …

    I considered using Drupal and Blogger, but I found the flexibility and ease-of-use was better in WordPress.
