Comparing Blogger with Self Hosting WordPress is wrong. We have to compare Blogger and WordPress which are Free Blogging platform then only we can get the real Merits and Demeirts.
According to me Blogger is far far best blogging platform than WordPress. Blogger has wide access to the code which WordPress never has.
If you are serious with blogging then you Should go with Self Hosted WordPress where you get all the features. But Comparing with Blogger and WordPress Self Hosted , I don’t think it is the right thing to do.
