If you are thinking to start a new blog then choosing a good blogging platform matters a lot. The two most popular ones are Blogger and Wordpress. Today almost all of the blogs chose either Blogger or Wordpress for their website.
Since I have been with blogger since 2007 when I started this blog, I must say that if you are new then Blogger is the one you should go for. Its simple and quite easy to manage. But you must also be thinking to go for Wordpress right? So here’s a quick comparison of why to chose blogger over Wordpress.
Why Blogger is Better?

There are so many great themes for blogger blogs over the web. Just Google ‘blogger templates’ and you will see many cool themes for blogger.

You can add widgets in your blog by adding HTML/Javascript codes which is really flexible and easy. So no need to manage plugins like in Wordpress.
