Notes:

The plus point of wordpress.com compared to blogger.com are (1) comment friendly: visitors easily can make a comment because the comment box shown prominently below a particular posting / article. Those who like many comments in their posts may find this blog suitable for them;
(2) The latest posts will come up several minutes in the Dashboard of every wordpress.com users, and if a particular post/arcticle attracts much traffic it’ll have a chance to be at BOTD (best post of the day) that is top ten articles / posts that attract the most traffics of the day will be placed in all wordpress.com users dasboard in a language that one chooses. For example, if you choose an Arabic language, you will only see the Best of the Day in Arabic only.
The minus point of wordpress.com compared to blogger.com / blogspot is: you cannot put any javascript in a wordpress.com blog. Meaning, you cannot put any ads such as AdSense, Chitika, guestbook, or anything that use javascript. This should not be a problem for blogger who just want to blog / write; who don’t have any intention to monetize i.e. to earn money from blogs.
