"Kidding" involves teasing the person addressed. The teasing may be directed at him personally (his habits, his accomplishments), or directed at his friends or his beliefs.
When you finish by saying, "I was only kidding," you may or may not be sincere.
"Joking" is sometimes used in the same way, but more often is poking fun at someone or something in a way that the person or people addressed will agree with - eg, the jokes of a standup comic.
