Which Blogger tool do you recommend

I am curious. Which Blogger tool do you recommend. In the past, all I knew about was blogger, but Wordpress is getting lots of mention.

Less known to me is Blerp, typepad, and there must be others.

I am looking to start blogging in earnest, and am unsure which is the best one to use, and also the simplest, and yes, to earn money online through them

There's an ongoing discussion here: http://www.v7n.com/forums/blogging-f...-platform.html

Thanks. I didn't see that thread. It seems a split vote. I think I'll go with Blogger for now.

Blogger is good but Wordpress is better because of the plugins and it is easy to use.

Here is a list of tools you can use for blogging:

Wordpress - As a platform
Windows Live Writer - Desktop Authoring Tool
SnagIT - Screencast Software
Windows Movie Maker - Video Editing
Google Webmaster - SEO

You can also use Google Analytics and instead of SnagIT you can use CamStudio.

You can have the hosted blog solution at blogger.com and wordpress.com. If you are willing to run the advertisements to your blog, then consider choosing blogger.com since wordpress.com does not allow JavaScript inserted to their blogs.

However, self hosted wordpress allows javascript.

to my personal experience wordpress is the best thing you can get for free. if you have your own domain and hosting space you can get lots of plugin and also get adds on your site.

If you are planning for self hosted blog then go for wordpress otherwise blogger would be a better option.

I used blogger first and then went over to Wordpress. Wp is much nicer to use with all the plugins and features.

If you are new with blogging, you can start with blogger and later on you can try the wordpress. most of us today, used the wordpress and drupal CMS because of its plugins and features.

If you are good at writing code, I recommend you should use Drupal as it is the best CMS for SEO.

If you do not, WordPress is a good choice.

I have used Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, Blogger and many more.
For me, if you just want a blog then I would go with Wordpress, but make sure it is on your own host so you can install plugins.
I love Joomla for 'proper' websites, and never really was a fan of Drupal, and between the 2 purpose built blog systems, WP just seems....better....

if u dont wanna spend $$ to start with a blog then go with blogger as its Free but if u are looking for easy and best blogging platform then go with Wordpress as wp is having so many plugins and themes making it attractive and easier to get our best and do the tweaks with it and yea better for SEO also
