Advantages:

Professionalism- The popularity of free blogging platforms or what gets these platforms going is the fact that they're free. The foremost reason you shouldn't be blogging on a free platform is that it doesn't look professional, which can be a big turn off for visitors whether it's because of the generic-looking themes, or credit links in the footer (which are very obvious), thus creating a wrong impression in the minds of visitors. With WordPress, you are able to give a very professional first impression to your visitors. Your website will look trustworthy and reliable.

WordPress allows you to choose from thousands of themes, including third-party themes, official themes, or even develop your own custom theme; install plugins which makes it easy to change or add whatever functionality you want; modify your website's code which can allow you to change the entire layout of your site; last, but not the least you retain ownership and control of everything posted. 

Community- WordPress is supported by an extensive online community in comparison to other blogging platforms, meaning you'll easily find help with any obstacles that you might encounter. 

Disadvantages:

Although WordPress blogging software is 100 percent free to download, but you'll need to purchase your own domain and hosting in order to use it, which usually hold bloggers back. Hosting costs depends on the type of hosting you buy. Go ahead with WordPress if you are gung-ho about blogging since the benefits listed above far outweighs the disadvantages. It would be worth each penny. Another thing that impedes bloggers from going ahead with WordPress is the notion that they do not have the technical know-how to use it.
