- Both Blogger and WordPress have ways to organize posts by categories; Blogger categories are displayed as a tag cloud, WordPress categories display as lists and/or clouds. Love choices.
- Template changes in Blogger result in a loss of formatting, formatting selections are maintained with template changes in WordPress. I like to changes templates and while I might go in and make a few changes to my formatting for the new look, it's almost too much work or too time consuming to redo all of the formatting.
- Blogger offers AdSense although a more convoluted path to stats; AdSense widgets are easy to drop into the sidebars on blogs and WordPress stats are one easy click on the dashboard.
- Blogs from other services cannot be imported into Blogger; blogs may be imported from Blogger, LiveJournal or another WordPress blog into a WordPress blog.
- Widgets are equally easy to install on Blogger and Wordpress although Blogger requires a little less hunting than WordPress to post a Meebome widget...on the other hand, what fun is life without the occasional challenge?
- 300 MB free space with Blogger; 3 Gigabytes free space with WordPress.

3 GBs on WordPress - that's impressive! When I read that I had to go back to russl and see if it was free... and it is! I guess this is good if you want to add a lot of images etc. to your posts and have no other place to store them. I wonder if there is a way to extend the space on Blogger if you need to.
