Chosen Answer:

My experience is limited, if you write detailed article on separate topics, hub pages is a bit simpler than standard blogs, each page is more of a self contained entity, one ca nlookup all of an author’s works, hub pages has a 60/40 revenue sharing scheme for ads you may place on the page.

Google’s Blogger is very poplar, it’s a bit simpler and limited than the industry standard WordPress, you can add your own vanity domain name, obtained elsewhere for about /yr. because Google owns them they seem to get indexed with no problem.

You can google | site:blogspot.com yourtopic | to see example blogger blogs.

Most free blogs will give you something like myBlog.blogspot.com
With your custom domain it can by mBlog.com (sorry that one is taken)

Many of the blog hosts have proprietary systems (like blogger) that you have to relearn on each different host.

WordPress.com uses the most popular blog engine, WordPress, what you learn there will apply to blogs you may create in the future. When you graduate to your own hosting account costing some – /month you will be able to install a free WordPress blog there.and have access to all of the bells and whistles not included on wordpress.com. Themes and plugins have made WordPress quite versatile, there are many sites you would not recognize as being blogs.

    WordPress or Blogger.

    Both are simple to use and very popular. They each come equipped for SEO, adding images, etc.

    WordPress does not allow you to host ads, but has a more customizable and advanced interface.

    Blogger allows you to host ads via Google adsense, and it’s layout interface is much simpler.

    WordPress is much easier to convert to a paid domain.

    WordPress for first timers. I use Joomla, but it has an extremely steep learning curve, not for the timid. If you just want to practice without your own domain, then blogger will work.
