Here is why wordpress blogging service is better than blogspot’s blogging service
- A blog on WordPress is more personalized than that on blogspot. A blog on blogspot has a small bar on top of your blog with features such as next blog,create blog,sign in, which makes it less personalized as person on your blog can can click on it AND GO TO THE NEXT BLOG.
- More number of themes are available in wordpress, which are far better than those on blogspot.
- A wordpress page is around 8-10KB and a blogspot page is on an average of 15KB. This makes a wordpress page open much faster than a blogspot’s page
- The number of widgets available on wordpress is far more than those in Blogspot
- WordPress is Adfree(Can be taken as a drawback also)
But wordpress has a few limitations also
- WordPress is Adfree. In blogspot you can run adsense
- In Blogspot you can customize the HTML coding to a fairly good extent. WordPress does not even support a tag of a marquee
These features make wordpress better( for me). The blogging service you use purely depends on the purpose of your blogging. If you want to make money, blogspot is surely better, but if you want a personalized blog wordpress is definitely better.

Hi, I’m new here. I have used blogspot a bit, and am thinking whether to stick to blogspot or wordpress. So thank you for this post.
As to the drawbacks of blogspot, you mention “A blog on blogspot has a small bar on top of your blog with features such as next blog, create blog,sign in”. Well, wordpress has this bar, too. I think this bar is actually handy to use.
One thing I don’t like of wordpress is that it does not support post via email. If it is going to support this feature, I’ll probably stay with wordpress.
