depends. if you just want an easy, editable blog then i think blogger's the way to go. it's a google product now so a google account will log in blogger, you tube, etc etc which makes it very easy to bring it all together. plus it's free. depends what you want to use it for.

with wordpress you can take a template like k2 and tweak it to create something that looks nothing like a wordpress template website.
dont know if you can do that with blogger without loading in the feed from the blog into a new site.

I like textpattern better than wordpress..but like ExpressionEngine better than either of those two, and for small simple projects I use sNews.

wordpress by far. extremely easy to work with, expand, hack, and tool around with.

We've found blooger much simpler for clients to use.
Wordpress is better overall, offering far more options and a simple install, but the input editor dosen't seem to cope well with people droping text in that they have written elsewhere, in word ect. Plus the WSIWG editor can be a bit buggy with html. Thats what we've found anyway, blogger does seem to be aimed at the less technical user - and for that matter seems to work better in its own limited way.

wordpress is excellent, has a very big community, tonnes of plugins etc.. but blogger does have the advantage of being part of google - hence lots of new features could be just around the corner..? EE for client sites has been a godsend tho...

wordpress...
Although I did have a bit of trouble getting the right permission changes (for uploading pictures), but that was a server side problem.
I know HTML and CSS, and dont know any PHP at all, but since I started tooling around, started to learn PHP pretty quickly...

take a look.. still not completely satisfied with the design, but pretty close to it.
