I used to use Blogger.  It's a really cool idea, and it's really simple.  The problem is that it uses a clumsy system to publish individual files, meaning that each time you make a change to a template, the entire site must be republished.  Google bought Blogger in 2002 from Pyra Labs (Meg Hourihan).  The reason I mention this is because Google is the best company in the history of the universe.  I drink the Google Kool-Aid.  And I think Google will eventually change Blogger to put themselves in a position to take over yet another sector of the internet market.  They either need to do something with a database and stuff like that, or they need to reinvent the whole personal publishing machine.  I'm sure it'll be cool. #technology
