I would love to hear some feedback on the pros and cons of both blogger sites... which one do you use and why do you prefer that one over the other...

TIA!

Wordpress by a long shot. Blogger is a lot more user friendly, but Wordpress is sooooo much better for traffic.

To give you a comparison, about two years ago I put up a fantasy football blog on blogger - it had roughtly 32 posts. How much traffic did I get? About 100 hits over a three month period.

Before the football season began this year, I put up a fantasy football blog on Wordpress - it only has about 6 posts. I had over 1,000 hits in a SINGLE month!

Wordpress is a little tricky, but based on my experience, it blows blogger out of the water, at least for traffic!

now I am baffled - I want to go to wordpress and it is in Spanish and won't switch to English for me...

I have to admit, I am not a very patient person when it comes to these things sometimes...grrrrrr.

Yikes! Try the Wordpress forum to see if you can get a resolution:
