Feature-by-feature comparison of Blogger vs WordPress and step by step guide on how to switch from Blogger to WordPress
Bambit has created an excellent layman’s analysis of Blogger vs WordPress, which is a good overview of two of the most popular free blogging tools.
She compares availabilty and demands on the user, setup speed and requirements, pages and pagination, look / feel / templates, interface and user-friendliness, and image handling.
As she pointed out, WordPress does require you to have a webhost that supports MySQL databases and you have to know how to use FTP. However, many hosting companies will actually create the MySQL database for you, in which case I found that doing the actual WordPress install and getting up and blogging takes less than 5 minutes.
Ultimately, Bambit decided to make the switch from Blogger to WordPress (and appears quite please with her decision) - and, even better, has even gone so far as to publish a step-by-step guide to moving from Blogger to WordPress. Thanks Bambit!
