Wordpress -vs- Blogger Pt. II

Well, it seems as though I'm not so good at following directions, actually I think I just got carried away in my prior post.

Here is my findings of my nice, long previous post presented as convenient bullet points.

Blogger:
  • super simple set-up
  • finding admin UI is not so easy
  • admin UI is nice, clean and is designed well
  • execution - real easy to get started blogging, only a few clicks
  • themes - very slim pickings
  • mods - gadgets are easy to use and have a guided setup
  • page layout - not much control here with the GUI, however its nice and simple
  • not as customizable as Wordpress, but easier to use out-of-the-gate
Wordpress:
  • email confirmation for setup, not as quick, but still pretty speedy
  • finding admin UI is very easy
  • admin UI is overwhelming for a newbie user
  • execution - easier to start blogging than Blogger, but a more complex "write" page
  • themes - lots to choose from (5 pages worth)
  • mods - not many widgets to chose from and set-up is not as intuitive
  • page layout - like Blogger not much customization abilities other than those inherent in your chosen template
  • more freedom, but not a lot of room to exercise those freedoms
