Default Free blogger?

Do you use free blog sites like blogger, blogspot?
Or you prefer setting up your own site using Wordpress or something else.

I prefer hosting my own blogs because that way I have control over the blog. I can add plugins, better templates etc etc.

I think own site performs better in search engine.
Or do you have better luck with free blog?

hosting ftw although free sites do have their ease advantages! If I'd know about and used them when I started out I dont think I would have learnt anywhere near as much as I know now.

I have done my very first blog on blogger because so can monetize it even without spending any money. Then afterwards, transfer to a hosting service like bluehost and start blogging using wordpress

I am doing the same as eronkid had been mentioned. Free blogger and wordpress for starter to learn basics and adsense to pay for professional hosting and other services, which I am not familiar with. There is so much new to learn, if one is a total newbie to the scene, like I was.
