I think WordPress beats all of those other ones.

No, I wouldn’t call LiveJournal comparable to blogger either. It’s primarily a social networking platform, not so much a publishing service.

I think you’re probably right in thinking that Blogger is a better service than WordPress.com, but the full WordPress software (available at WordPress.org) is much more powerful. That’s beyond the scope of this article though.

I really enjoy Blogger. Although Google “owns” your material that you post, they don’t take control unless there’s something really inappropriate posted.

Just to be safe, I keep a WP blog updated with imports from Blogger. However, I still don’t care too much for WP. It’s not as simple as Blogger and much less creative in my mind.

I have not tried LJ, but from what I am reading, I don’t know if I’d even care to try. It doesn’t sound comparable to WP and Blogger.

i STRONGLY disagree with the statement, that LJ has very limited themes and is not great to use – as the first commenter said, there are hundreds of communities providing free layouts and LJ is actually (out of these three) the most customizable. and rather simple to use, once you’ve got everything figured.

having said that, i’d like to add, that i’m not a supporter of LJ. it is great, if you want to ‘belong’ – you can join communities and participate in various web-circles, but blogger and WP are definitely for the more solitary blogger interested in really writing and not simply randomly blogging.

Just a few others to consider.

Weebly.com, Bravenet, Yahoo Geo cities, Thoughts, myblogsite, blog.com, sitekreator, tripod.lycos.com, synthasite, i3log, aol journals, myfamily, onebp, blogspot, blogsboom… and the list goes on and on.

WordPress is probably the best blogging platform I ever came across. LifeJournal is too of a modern community. People contribute little in terms of writing, just exchanging Wow-and-Bow... They now add the community and other useful features. Did you know that you can have the same WordPress blogs, just with much more impressive URLs? Just have a look: Joking.Of-Cour.se and Nespresso.Of-Cour.se

@Blogger Blog, I agree with that statement. Funny, since I’m usually a total WordPress fan. However, the WordPress.com service is just too lacking in control for my tastes.

Very nice comparisons here. It definitely helps newbies to decide what decisions to be made. I use both Blogger and WordPress.com for my blogs. I Just want to get the experence with both of them. I prefer Google Blogger over WordPress.com so far. It gives me more controls of my html codings. Plus it allows me to put Google AdSense on my blog. Lanna
