Spend some time reading other blogs - sounds stupid, but it can help out a lot even if you don't get around to writing a post right away.

I see Blogger as more of a hobbyist platform - it works great for a lot of people, and it definitely has monitization options, but I simply feel that WordPress is superior in every way imaginable.

From my experience with Blogger, advanced customization is just not present. You get a few different themes, ...
