Last time I already give you a match-up or battle between two mightiest internet browser, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. And today, I'm gonna give you another battle. Let me give you a hint, it's not Mcgregor vs Mayweather or Groudon vs Kyogre. Instead we're gonna give you a battle between two blogging services website. Yes, it's Blogger and WordPress.
Just like you know, this two have been used by blogger all around the world to express them self and give people an information about something or the latest news that happened somewhere in the world. But there are so many new bloggers and website owners didn't know which one they should use. Should they choose a simple and basic blogging service like Blogger or an advanced and more complex blogging service like WordPress?
I admit when I decided to become a blogger, I didn't know which one should I use. I search all over the internet for month if I'm not wrong, and did you know what did I found? Most of them said that Blogger and WordPress are the same, they are equally good. It's up to you to decide which one is better (Can you believe that?). That doesn't give me an answer at all, and then with all of that confusion. I decided to try it myself, and the first one that I try was WordPress. Honestly I was confused when I want to build my own website in WordPress and then my friend said that Blogger is more simple than WordPress. And that's how I found this blog, anyway let's just go to the main topic of this article shall we?

Which One is The Best?
Many says that Blogger is simpler and better than WordPress but some says that WordPress is more organized and easy to use than Blogger. Which one do you think is the best? Let's find out.
Blogger.com
This free blogging service is own by the biggest search engine company in the world, Google. And probably one of the most popular blogging services in the world. Some of new blogger like me, use this platform, Because:
It Was Free
Just like you know, Blogger is free. That means you are free to do whatever you like and you don't have to spend a money to build or make your own blog. But later when your blog have a lot of visitor and become more famous. You will have to spend some money if you want to make your blog more advanced.
You can Post So Many Article
In Blogger you can post as many as you like. So no need to worry about can't post an article because you have exceeded the amount of article you can post. That means you can write anything you want and as many as you want. But of course if your article have something that Google didn't like, Your blog or website can be closed forever.
User Friendly
Not like Wordpress, Blogger have a more friendly dashboard and control panel. Probably because Blogger is for a newbie, and there's one thing that I like from Blogger. It's widget, Yes there are lots of widget out there and if you want to add a widget to your blog, you just can easily add it with copy the url and paste.
Google Adsense
This is probably the reason why I start blogging with Blogger. You can easily make money with Google Adsense, because Blogger is integrated with Google Adsense and Amazon Associates. How does it work? Well, every time someone click an advertising in your blog or website. You will get money, so more people click your ads more money you will get. And if your blog or website have a good traffic or visited by so many internet users, you can start to sign up to Google Adsense and let the money flow. But of course it's not easy to join Google Adsense.
Integrated With Google
If you already have a gmail or Google Talk instant messenger account, that mean you have a Google Account. And you can start make your blog and begin to write an article in Blogger. So no need to worry about second sign up, because the e-mail and password that you use to sign in to Blogger.com is the same with your Gmail account.
It Was Safe
Another Reason why I use Blogger, because it was safer than WordPress. WordPress.org is vulnerable to hacker/cracker's attack, because they can break into cpanel or blog database in WordPress. Blogger in the other hand, is safer because it was own by Google.
WordPress.com/WordPress.org
Some of you maybe confused by the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. And if you say this two is the same, you are wrong. Because WordPress.com is a free blogging services just like Blogger.com and created by the same company Automattic. In the other hand, WordPress.org is not free. you can buy and download an application or domain and put it into your blog or website. Some of the biggest company use WordPress.org to make a website.
WordPress.com
Free, Free, Free
Just like I said before, WordPress.com is free. But with great power comes great limitation. In WordPress.com, you didn't have a full access to your blog. And if you want to use some feature, you should bought them first
So Many Theme
The good side of using WordPress.com is that you can choose so many theme that you can applied to your blog. Up to a hundred themes are available for you to choose and they're all have a good design, so you didn't have to worry about make your own theme or bought a theme from someone.
Custom Domain
Not like any other blogging services, WordPress.com provides you with a custom domain. Yes, you can change your blog or website domain. But you will have to bought the domain first, you can bought the domain for 18 dollar for a year.
WordPress.org
Have So many Feature
This one have so many feature that you can use to your blog or website like theme, domain, plugin, any other stuff. If you want to find out more, just check out the website
Plugins
Just like Blogger.com, Wordpress.org have so many plugins but the different is that WordPress.or have tons of plugins. You can applied them to you your blog or website after you bought them. But it was worth it, because the plugins are cool.
No Rules
WordPress.org is different, not like any other blogging services. WordPress.org allow you to use or change everything and and anything you want. It's your blog or website, just do anything you want. so that's why WordPress.or sometimes use by a professional blogger or website owner.
So the in the conclusion, I'm just gonna say that every blogging services have it's own advantages and disadvantages. It's up to you to choose which one is better. But remember this, no matter what blogging services that you use. You should give a reliable and trusted information, you shouldn't use this blogging services to give a hoax or false information. So it's on your own, choose which blogging services that you think perfect for you.
