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 allwordpress .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.
