Hi
Word press is better when compare with the Blog spot, Google has authority of Blog spot, in any moment they can shutdown our Blog spot. But Word press completely our's.
I have a blog-spot account, but people are saying word-press is having many plugins that links with search engines fast. But blog-spot is Google product, so which site will be first shown either blog-spot or word-press.
