to blog or to word press what form is best?
I am pondering starting a new blog would you use blogspot, wordpress or something else... what are the advantages or disadvantages to one over the other?
As I have blogspot already I wonder if I might like wordpress better....
Any opinions?

I love my puppy ... and my husband, I swear!
I LOVE Wordpress. I've started a blog recently teaching other women to build their own sites and market their blogs. The link is in my siggy. Blogspot is just more limited. It's great to start out with but Wordpress is very powerful and easy to use so I think it's always the best route. It's free, it's easy to use, and lots of very popular and large sites run on it. I haven't used Blogspot in years.
If you do Wordpress I would do a self hosted site with your own domain/URL. You just need to purchase a domain, get a hosting account, and then you can install Wordpress within the hosting cPanel. I have tutorials on all three on my blog. If you need any help at all feel free to email me at sarah at theblogarista.com. Also, if you get your own hosting account or URL their are links on the side of my blog with my favorites. I also have coupon codes for those to offer my readers and I get a commission so if you want click through one of those. Again, if you have ANY questions let me know!
WordPress
It's much more customizable and like a PP said, if you want to host it yourself someday it's very easy to do that.
