Please Give the names of hacked Blogger blogs , labnol.org is a very famous blog in India , it was hacked one month ago. Blogger is secure than WordPress, you need to spend extra money for security.
DeleteBlogger add a number of new options , use it , i have blogs , 3 of the are blogspot blogs .Only problem i found is it's commenting System , Wordpress has good commenting system , people will comment it because of Commentluv and Quality of Posts.Blogger doesn't have CommentLuv . For a beginner , blogger is better than Wordpress , Both Domain and Hosting are free.
ReplyDelete@Sibin: labnol is a blogspot initially but amit migrated to wordpress in one labnol post he mentioned it.
