- WordPress content, unlike content you put on Google Blogger, is owned and controlled by you. If Google decides to pull Google Blogger, all of the information will go with it. With Wordpress, your content would remain.
- WordPress blogs (they can also host websites, or BOTH your blog and website together, but we're talking blogs specifically) are almost completely customizable*. There are a plethora of different themes and layouts available through WordPress. This made me happy because I feel like Google Sites is fairly limited on the layouts that you can choose. Ample plugins available should you need further options.
- WordPress Dashboard has over 50 language options, but in the grand scheme of things, there are more languages to conquer, so I couldn't give Wordpress a 4 here. Blogger can do over 100 languages and counting.
- *One big thing to remember is that Wordpress is free to a point, but there is a charge in order to access most of the amazing themes and options. Therefore, for education, it may not be the best choice.
*Rubric created in collaboration with Tricia Bursey and James Hoisington. Evaluation of Wordpress using the rubric is my own thinking.
