I know your first reaction probably is "Oh no...not another one" :)). Even so, I'm posting it here. I just wanted to experiment. Please pay a visit. :)

BTW Blogger does have labels which are equivalent to categories in Wordpress.com And you cannot put adsense or such ads in Wordpress. Though you can sell your own text links or small banners in sidebar if you can reach advertisers directly.

Blogger is a nice platform to start with but not worth while hosting on your own.

Anyway, a good member's blog is good too, as is yours ;)

Nice Blog...
Add more content..I am going to add your blog to my blog's friend list if you don't mind.

And when it comes to free bloghosting services, blogger is the best.
Wordpress still has long way to go../..

I think blogger is a nice platform. I've read the blogger vs wordpress article, and I don't find any argument convincing enough for me to shift to wordpress. Blogger allows direct access to the template. I think that's the biggest plus point for blogger. The possibilities are endless.

Thanks. I will add it.

One more advantage of using blogger is you get indexed by google very soon. My post becomes available on google within 6 hours of posting.

Heh, I got to laugh at that, WordPress is far far ahead of Blogger at least. Right up from default templates, dashboard features, customization, extendability and stability/security. Blogger customizations are way far tedious than WordPress, probably the reason not many Blogger blogs appear glossy and neat to the eye.

And @blackpearl - That's not the case, Indexing happens as per the PR and site importance/priorities. Its not biased ;)
