WordPress Vs Blogger: Which is the better blogging software for your blog?

WordPress and Bloger both are the widely used blogging software. Both have several attractive features. However, I would like to recommend for WordPress for your blog. Here are the 5 basic reasons why WordPress is better than Blogger:

Ownership and Branding – WordPress software installs on the server under your own domain name. This means your blog will live on www.yourdomain.com or blog.yourdomain.com. With Blogger however, your blog will reside on their server, so the URL will look something like this: yourblog.blogspot.com. WordPress hands over the “Ownership” of the blog to the webmaster, while with blogger, you are under their ownership.
Blogs Never Go Dead – or at least not until you want it off the web. If in any case, your blog is hacked or the database is lost, then you can have a backup from your server, or directly through your host. But in blogger if the same thing happens, you will see a line “Blog not found”. There is very little chance of recovering a deleted blog in blogger.
Categorized Blogging – In WordPress, you can have any number tags representing categories and can post in these categories, rather than having no categories and posting random stuff as in blogger.
Plugins for Customization – There are thousands of plugins for WordPress to make it easy to use and more search engine friendly. A WordPress blog can be customized and made look like a normal website/forum etc. Blogger doesn’t have this advantage.
Reaching the World Through Pings – Hundreds of pinging services and blog directories with RSS accept all WordPress feeds and are pinged once and always when a post is published in the WordPress blog, and the pinging in their sites can be automated. The same isn’t there with blogger and very few blog directories accept feeds from blogger powered sites.
