 I'm still new to this. Is it easier to monetize a wordpress blog with adsense than it is to do with a blogger blog? Could someone please tell some of the advantages and disadvantages of each?

 There both about the same as far as adding the adsense. The WP blogs are harder to set up. However, you can't use adsense on a WP.com or use affiliate links. You can though on a WP.org, since you need your own host you can do whatever you want.
 
 Blogger blogs are easier, but you don't have control. I use them for test sites and if it looks profitable I will switch it over to WP.org
 
 You can do so much more with a WP blog than a Blogger blog. It's good to learn both.

 Thanks Sonni. So if I were planning to monetize with wordpress I would have to acquire a .org domain name first?

 Classic,
 No you do not  need a .org that's just the top level domain of WP you can choose a com, a net or whatever you choose, .info however has a bad rap so I wouldn't choose that one, it is cheap though. Do some research on domains to find out what would best suit your needs.
