You are the most important part of your blog

If you are ready to blog and promote your content daily any of the blogging software is ok

But for newbies I will advice blogger because the technicalities of WordPress might be distraction from blogging daily as a beginner.

Blogger comes with free traffic, one of my blogs with custom domain had 18 page views in the first by activation auto share to gplus, on WordPress i f your seo implementaion is not sound enough any your web is slow-loading or not mobile friendly then it may take forever to get visitors to come read your blog.

My verdict:

lovely advice

One of the most horrible mistakes newbies make when it comes to blogging is setting out to wordpress.org after buying the necessary hosting plans as well as domain name for their blogs.

The truth is, both platforms are amazing but Blogger is just about the best for several reasons which I would list below;

Blogger

The Pros
1. Setting up a blog on blogger can be done in the space of five minutes at no cost.
2. The Google+ share automatically makes your blog reach out to unsuspecting audience in no time.
3. You don't have to worry about hosting as Google would take care of that.
4. The site hosts a plethora of free templates, so bloggers can customize their viewers’ experience and create a visual presence that keeps their brand consistent.
5. The site is also extremely reliable. Blogger’s upgrades are seamless, and the site is rarely down for maintenance or due to other issues, such as hackers.
6. Many users also love that they can connect their Blogger account to their Google Adsense and Analytics accounts for seamless tracking.

The Cons
1. Blogger does not offer a lot of options for more advanced bloggers. You shouldn't worry though, if you are starting out.
2. Many bloggers complain (both novice and advanced) about losing their template customizations. While the simple interface is attractive to novice bloggers, many professional and advanced bloggers complain about the lack of high-end features and more advanced options.
3. The features are also limited, and many bloggers complain about the post editing options and minimal comments options.

Wordpress

The Pros (By Wordpress, I am actually referring to the .org Wordpress and not its .com version.)
1. Total control over your blog, particularly when it comes to design, feel, texture among a host of other things.
2. While Blogger primarily uses Adsense, Wordpress' gives more autonomy to make money from blogging via various advertising and affiliate marketing platforms schemes.
3. You will also have your own domain name which will look more professional than a .com sub-domain which you can get from blogger.
4. Wordpress, without a doubt, enjoys more technical support than Blogger. Almost every technical issue plaguing bloggers who use Wordpress have been answered severally and answers can easily be sourced for in no time.

The Cons
1. The technical requirements required to run a self-hosted WordPress blog are a little more advanced than those required for a platform such as Blogger.
2. You will also need to pay for hosting.
3. Most newbies often times run into the hands of desperate host sellers who offer far-from-reality hosting services which could in turn be frustrating, all thanks to server downtimes.

Note: You can get a customised domain name (brandname.com) for your blog on Blogger if you are not comfortable using .blogspost.com. Interestingly, you would not spend up to $14 (5000) in getting a .com domain name and that should sort it. A misconception is that Blogger has more SEO strengths than Wordpress. This is not true. Your site's SEO strength, whether on Blogger or Wordpress.org largely depends on how your blog is equipped or setup. For starters, avoid sharing your blog name with a popular, established brand or company.
