Question about blogging platforms

[norwich36]

I've been playing around with the idea of starting a blog that was more professionally (rather than fannishly) oriented, and I've been investigating different blogging platforms. Does anyone have strong opinions on the merits of blogger.com v. wordpress.com? (I'm definitely not doing it on LJ or Vox, because I want it to be completely removed from my fannish identity).

There are more and better ways to handle comments on WP than on blogger. Blogger comments often involve Haloscan, which makes the baby jesus cry.

I'd go for WordPress. I'm using this for my website and while coding is kinda mean, the service itself is great.

Then again, I have a huge issue with blogger, since their service simply sucks. Two years ago, someone was copying the content of my journal over at blogger.com, and when I asked them to investigate the case their answer was basically "Get yourself a lawyer, but don't bother us." :-/

I really like WordPress. It's nice, easy (more or less) and you have a trizillion of option when it comes to add ons. Blogger... well, see above.

I haven't actually extensively used either platform outside of stupid little required uni blog assessments (gods, don't even ask), but as far as personal preference goes I think wordpress looks much less chunky and more modern and professional. I've also heard lots of horrible things about blogger, and lots of good things about wordpress, just by general word of mouth so my vote would be on wordpress.

I also found all the behind the scenes stuff more intuitive once I got a handle on how things worked. Blogger is more liable to have me throwing my hands up and wtfing at the world (given that most of said blog assessments required group blogs which my idiot classmates could screw around in and with though, that could be the source of my frustration.)

I like my wordpress account. As much as I can like anything with only one icon, no selective flock, and no threaded comments (though, I think if you use your own server you can add comment thread software).

Hmmm. You have me actually looking at them now instead of just vaguely remembering they exist. Your friends (so far) seem to like wordpress, but they're the ones who don't allow ads. (Which I care about even if you don't!)
