WordPress is the most popular web blogging, just like Blogspot. If you are ready to start a blog, you will be familiar with it. You know, As a blog publishing application, It was first released in May 2003 and powered by PHP and a SQL data backend. As of September 2009, Wordpress is used by 202 million websites worldwide. Nowadays, It is becoming a popular content management system. I am familiar with if for I am running 3 blogs. If you need help, just contact me please. Happy myLotting!

Hi dipak, Wordpress is a blogging platform like blogger. Instead that wordpress is software and blogger is a what you see is what you get blogging platform, wordpress however needs to be installed on your server in order to work. If you're a serious internet marketeer then wordpress is the place to be. Wordpress has more options than blogger.

Its a blogging website. It is like any other site such as blogspot or blogger! But word press is more of a plain site with not as much bright colors. You don't have as much of a choice on how your blog is layed out. So I would suggest using blogger since they have many more widgets available, along with more choice in colors for your blog.
