I get blogger and think I can get wordpress fairly easily but in regards to teaching someone and use for a person who isn't web savy?

Which would you recommend with pros and cons?

Definitely Wordpress!!!

Both are easy to use but Wordpress is the very best when it comes to blogging platforms. It's extremely SEO friendly and there are a TON of plugins that allow you to add extra functionality to your blog.

No harder than Blogger. It really depends on how well you know it and can teach it and how well the other person can learn it.

If you're looking to optimize it you'll need to download WordPress from wordpress.org and install and host it on your server. With either Blogger or WordPress.com you lack some control you'll want when it comes to optimization.

Well, for a start you should be using wordpress to be able to teach someone how to use it to know basic points you should be telling, especially if the tutorial that you are to make is for someone really new to blogging.. =)

Both of them are not hard if you just want to write anything,but if you want to have a bardian blog, i think wordpress is better.

I would suggest blogger. Because, It is easy to use and it is FAST compare to wordpress. Anyone can learn about blogger very quick. Once they understand about blogging and etc, then they can move to wordpress and they can understand that... I think blogger suits for beginner.

If you have to teach someone wordpress you got to understand it first.

Blogger Benefits

* You don't have to download any software or go out and buy a server or hosting.

* Just sign up, choose a name for your blog, pick a template, and go.

* The ability to easily modify themes and page codes.

* Blogger has a large FAQ, Guides, and Help Group base.

* Large selection of free add-ons, widgets, and themes.

* Buy and host your own domain - $10 a year for the domain and Blogger will host it for free.

I think blogger is much more direct compared to wordpress. All you need to do is to register and everything is ready to go. Nothing to worry about and even hosting needs have been taken care of. Drag and drop.

@steelback - WordPress has two versions. One which you download from wordpress.org and install on your own hosting account and one where you sign up at wordpress.com that works just like Blogger. You sign up and it's free and you get widgets and a large helpful community, etc.

Just making sure everyone knows you can get the same benefits you get with Wordpress.com that you do with Blogger.

Still I think the best option is installing WordPress from wordpress.org on your own hosting account.

The ggogle blogger is by far much easier than wordpress, but it does not look half as good.
There is so much more you can do with a WP Blog

I would go with WordPress. The learning curve is a little steeper but its worth it. Once you get serious and want to create your own blogging website to generate ad revenue the transition will be easier.

I would recommend blogger for a newbie. It is so easy to use, and you can get your blog up quickly. You can always move to wordpress later on.

I'd actually say WordPress is easier, but neither are hard. I do train new clients how to use their WordPress sites, and so far, I've not encountered any difficulties. There will always be questions, but WordPress has a huge support base.

Why do people think Blogger is easier than WordPress? Just curious, since WordPress seems as easy to me.

For me I'll go for Wordpress. But if you're wanting to learn this just because you're going to teach someone else then why not try studying both Wrodpress and Blogger? They're both easy to learn and that way, if you teach your friend, he/she can choose which one would be most suitable for his/her use.
