Livejournal
The key advantage of Livejournal is the social platform solution where blogshop owner can create their social space within LiveJournal in the internet and meet their possible customers.
Pluses: As mentioned above, LiveJournal has some many social networking features and communities where blogshop owner can advertise their sales item to the community. It is very easy to find new friends there and track their blogs.
Minuses: If you are thinking monetizing your blog, Livejournal will not allow that – all advertisements there are added by Livejournal company.
Categorizing your sales item is different and the number of themes is limited. There are no plugins at all.
More importantly when it comes to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) The search engines don’t like Livejournal: It is unlikely you will ever be on the first page of Google , so all you’ll get is the same Livejournal users as you.
Blogger

Minuses: It is not SEO friendly. Many beginners think that if this platform is earned by Google, then their blog will be in the Top 10 on every page of the search engines and have thousands of visitors every day. It is not true: Although there is a possibility to be on the first page of Google, it will take much more time to get there as on Wordpress.
Blogger doesn’t look nice: doesn’t allow to add categories which is vital for a Blogshop.
With the countless of theme available, It does help Blogshop who needs to create a professional image. However tweaking is limited.
Wordpress
This is the best solution for Blogshops who want to have professional and nice looking web-page. However be prepared to learn a bit more about wordpress as it is simple as Blogshop. Also for wordpress, you need to have your own hosting so it does take a little programming if you decide to choose wordpress.
