Blogger vs. Wordpress vs. Tumblr

This is what I would like to share with anyone who would like my opinion of which of these three blogging platforms is the best.

Blogger:
What I like
You can customize the way the blog looks, and change the HTML
What I don't like :
Only 4 templates to choose from, only auto publishes to Google+
This problem can be solved by using a 3rd party service like Twitter feed

Wordpress:
What I like
Nicer blog feed, easier to reblog has a like post and better sharing options than Blogger, and can connect to Tumblr
What I don't like :
You need  Premium Wordpress to get the most out of Wordpress, this lets you customize your blog so that you don't need to find a new template that has the text, and color that matches your background.
Also, you need to log on in order to follow a blog,which must be done from your own blog. Wordpress also doesn't use Javascript. Even though Molly the Dog (a Blogger blog) and DArHook (a Wordpress blog) a both have 11 followers. Molly the dog gets more traffic, and  DArHooK has had 11 followers for a longer time.


Tumblr:
What I like
Auto publishes post to Facebook and Twitter, don't need a follow widget to gain followers like Blogger as that comes with all templates
What I don't like :
Need HTML knowledge to change things on blog, unlike Blogger which also has a Layout page to place widgets. Blog stats are hard to find, picture only templates are not pinterest friendly for getting the web address of a post

Blogger vs Tumblr

Today's review is what I like and dislike about Blogger & Tumblr.
Blogger
Likes:

  • Uploading content for a blog post - you can upload content from your computer, Google+, Picasa, and Google Drive
  • Web page layout - You can add as many widgets and buttons as you like, lots of options of how they appear on the Blog
  • About Person info Comes from Google+
Dislikes:

  • Changing HTML messes up the blog
  • Right off the bat when you publish a post, it only has Google+ to share it on. If you want to share that post on Facebook and/or Twitter it must be from the blog itself
  • 3rd party Backgrounds cause errors for background preview

Tumblr
Likes: 
  • Able to share to Facebook and Twitter right off the bat when you publish a post
  • Blog post appears on a Facebook timeline app
  • Effector theme shows About Person info from Twitter, along with latest tweets
  • More options for tumblr themes then Blogger Templates
Dislikes:
  • Need to make pages on Blog to add a widget or button that may or may not work 
  • Most themes cost money, no Blogger Templates or Layout does
  • To start blogging, you must  follow 5 other blogs, plus an extra 5 per computer 
with camera problems, this is because a computer camera is need for the blog icon. 

I have only been on Blogger for about 3 months, and Tumblr for about a week or so. If you know any thing about these blogs I don't know about  Commenting would be helpful
