A couple months ago, I moved my blog from Blogger to Wordpress, that's because Wordpress offers some nice themes. Recently, I've bought a new domain (my first domain actually) and I want to use that domain for my blog but it costs me 10$/year to use custom domain in Wordpress! Searching around and I found that Blogger let you use your custom domain for free with hassle-free setup. Horay!
Then I moved back to Blogger, but the problem arises, the ugly theme! I think it's the right time for me to learn CSS and start hacking Blogger API. And after 2 weeks of hard working, I've finished my custom theme for Blogger based on Natural Power theme for Wordpress.
I'm quite happy with the result I've got so far. Not too bad for a CSS newbie.
From the normal user perspective, Wordpress provides many useful functionality out of the box, but if flexibility is your top priority, Blogger is your best choice so far.

I've just imported all my post and comments from blogger.com to my wordpress.com account. So far so good! I've also cleaned up all of my posts on wordpress.com to make it *cleaner*. Wordpress.com does come with a cool code syntax highlighter as described here http://support.wordpress.com/code/ , the number of programming language it supports is quite impressive.
By the way, I've just found out some cool tricks to use the built-in code highlighter of wordpress. Instead of typing [sourcecode language='css'] code here [/sourcecode], you can use one of the following:
