Why blogging is frowned upon.

Did the sites have any instruction for setting up your blog?

Blogger and WordPress had easy instructions for set-up and creating posts, edublogs was just horrible.

Were directions needed or was the process self-explanatory on each site?

Directions are needed for edublogs, as no ‘New Post’ button is evident.

Can you control who sees your blog on each site?

I could not find a way to control who sees the blog, so no.

Can you control comments on each site?

For Blogger, comment control is possible. However, this is not the same for Wordpress and edublogs.

If you were going to have students setup a blog, which of these sites would

you choose at this point?

I would choose Blogger, personally. It is the easiest to use, and it isn’t a hassle to set-up or view.

Explain why you chose that site over the other two?

Well, it is easy to use, and it isn’t a hassle to set-up or view.

If you were to have students setup a blog on your chosen site, what type of information would you give the student prior to getting started?

I would tell them the website, and get them to go from there.

Overall, did you find setting up a blog easy or was it a frustration and why.

Setting up a blog with Blogger was easy enough, WordPress was mediocre, not too hard, not too easy, and edublogs was just overkill. It was impossible to do much more than just sign up.
