Blogger Vs Wordpress

Blogger is perhaps the biggest platform for online bloggers but Wordpress isn't far behind either.

After having spent plenty of time on both of them,I guess I'm qualified enough to judge how they fare against each other.

Firstly Blogger,
Positives-Flexibility with Templates
Negatives-It can't really help you if you want to know your performance.

Wordpress,
Positives-It gives excellent blog statistics and it's results show up in google pretty much more than blogger's results do.
Negatives-No Template Flexibility.You have to choose from the existing templates and almost everyone of them is faulty somewhere or the other.

The result-Both of them are pretty good so you can't really make a judgement.Both have their pro's and cons and the future performance depends totally upon their future policies.I think Wordpress would do much better if it would allow templates from outside.It already has started some of that but you need to pay for editing your CSS which is totally not acceptable.Blogger meanwhile is doing a very good job with templates.I think they could also do with a list of widgets which can be incorporated into the blog's sidebar and all because all the bloggers may not be very good at html and css so it's a tough job for them to copy and paste codes from here and there and they mess their template up.Moreover Blogger should have a blog stats feature where it can tell a blogger about the visits to his/her blog and the way the users reached the blog.
