I've used Blogger in the past and the blog on my current site uses Wordpress. Both are good. My preference for anything that truly matters is to have my own instance of the blog software running on my own website rather than use a free blog service like Blogger or the basic Wordpress hosted by them. I've never had problems with Blogger's free service but I guess I just have control issues. Many hosting services include Wordpress as one of their features so installation is literally just a click and you can start creating your site. There is no need to downlaod WP and install it yourself. I use iPage to host my site. There are many other similar companies that offer good hosting services that include Wordpress for just a few dollars a month.

Both services are easy to use. Both Wordpress and Blogger allow customization but I think Wordpress is more flexible and more suited to creating a more complete website rather than just a blog. There's a lot of support and tutorials available for Wordpress too. I've seen many excellent photograper sites created solely with Wordpress.

I don't have a blog, but everyone I know either uses blogger or word press. Those who use word press love it. They say they wouldn't go with anyone else. Those who use blogger, say it's just easy and simple to use, which is why they stay.
