It's more about which the blogger finds easier to use so far.

For beginners you can use blogspot. If you don't need a lot of features or flexibility and don't want to pay for web hosting. If you will use it to become a professional blogger then Wordpress is best for you.

Blogspot PROS
-free
-easy to use
-unlikely to be hacked
-decent templates

Blogspot CONS
-limtied features
-easily to lose your template customisations

Wordpress PROS
-Extremely flexible and feature rich
-can make nice blogs if your have coding knowledge
-still easy to use without coding
-lots of free and paid themes
-no fine print

Wordpress CONS
-requires paid hosting
-customisation might be difficult for beginners
-easy to hack but easy to fix

Do you think blogspot is easy or wordpress?
Sep 12, 2014 7:49AM PDT

I think blogspot ismore easy.Blogdpot allow to insert html/java scrept code in there free web site. Blogspot is helpful for SEO because blogspot allow us to insert keywords and description.
Wordpress do not allow SEO plug in in there free web site.

Depends...

The answer depends on what you are blogging about. If it is more of a hobby or just for fun, then Blogspot is quite simple to use and its free! If it is for business, Wordpress is more professional, you can do way more with it. If this blog is something that is very precious or important to you, I would recommend Wordpress.

Good luck!

Wordpress is better

There's no such thing as easy or hard. If you want to use a blogging platform, I would suggest you to go with WordPress because it provides additional features such as customization and various helpful plugins without requiring any coding knowledge. It's good to start your blogging journey with.

In my opinion its better to work with WordPress as its content rich, flexible, themes and customization, plugins and widget are available in tons, easy to publish.

Go with WordPress
Oct 13, 2014 8:49PM PDT

I suggest to go with WordPress since it will help you to make/develop better and professional web site later.

However, if you are just concentrating for a personal blog, Blogger would be more suitable because of its simplicity.

I have used both - actually still do. You can do a whole lot more with wordpress than you can with blogspot. However wordpress is limited if you use their free site but there will still be more themes and features available than blogspot. There are plenty of websites out there that will compare the two so just do an online search using "wordpress vs blogspot" as keywords.

IMO, if you are going to use wordpress, get a hosting account so you can take full advantage of everything that is available .
