So what blogging service will you choose? Depending on your needs and knowledge, I would recommend Blogger for newbies and Wordpress for people with some technical and coding knowledge. Both services are free to use as well as they provide you some paid services also! But finally you are the decision maker and you have to choose the service that suits you best. Though I would not recommend the free blogging platforms due to some disadvantages of free blogging platform, if you are beginner and if you want to test yourself then these are the best options.
My personal experience with Wordpress is not that good. Despite of good technical and coding knowledge I find myself somewhere lost in big sea with lot of types and number of fishes but don't know what to do and what will happen. Hence for me blogger is my favorite platform and thats true for most of the blogger!
