Blogger vs. Wordpress - Part I

Blogger: a short, simple tabbed interface for posts vs. Wordpress: a long, detailed scrolling interface for posts.

Blogger: a few template choices vs. Wordpress: many graphically interesting & beautiful template choices, categorized by type.

Blogger: a fast, easy, user-friendly dashboard/startup for new bloggers vs. Wordpress: a confusing dashboard layout/startup best approached slowly by newbies.

Blogger: a small-print section on the post interface for labels, which I missed before Steve's video pointed it out vs. Wordpress: a primary focus on tagging and categories, as illustrated by their prominence on the posting interface.

Blogger: good for getting students new to technology started with blogging vs. Wordpress: something I would be interested in spending time learning as I blogged more. A challenge!

I concur with your assessment...Blogger is better for beginners, like me, but I think WordPress will be cool to play around with as I get more comfortable with the whole blogging concept.
