Wordpress over blogspot?

[scAFF]

I'm a newbie to blogging,

I have started to put together some articles for a blog which will link to my xtreme sports forum with lots of content on surfing, bmx guides etc. I aren't sure which is the best way to go about this:

Do I use blogspot or buy a domain close to my forums name xtreme365 ie xtreme365blog etc Also is wordpress user friendly as I only have a bit of knowledge of html etc

After reading these forums content seems to be the key along with links am I right in thinking that?

I think wordpress is the most user friendly software out there. It is great, powerful, flexible and easy to use and learn.

For me, I think it's better to try to buy your own domain close to your forum rather than to use blogspot. You have more control using wordpress.

I use and recommend others to use word press. Its easy to use and friendly.

wordpress is the best to use. Its really userfriendly and you cna have your own blogs .

For adsense blog, blogspot for sure. But for other stuffs, I still prefer wordpress... Lots of helpful plugins available online...

i'd also go for wordpress, since you can tinker with a lot of stuff... can be fun too...
