Which blog service provider?

[Mert Ulas]

Which blog service provider are you using? Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad or may be something new?

I use wordpress for several blogs and have been happy with it. It keeps getting better as the years go by -- they're now on version 2.1

[Mert Ulas]

Well I must admit they have better themes, functions and themes than blogger. However my choice is blogger cause as soon as you publish something you know that it simultaneously will be indexed by google :)

I'm using Blogger. It's reliable and not hard to use. The downside is that I've haven't learned anything about customizing it or making it better in any key way. I just provide content and post it there.

I use Wordpress.com at the moment. I'm not entirely happy with it because it won't let you put certain html in etc. Things like ads, or even a paypal 'donate' button. Which sucks.

I use to use Blogger, and didn't fully appreciate how good it was untill now. Now I use all of the google apps- documents, photos, calender, reader etc. and blogger just fits in so well. Plus I have picassa on my computer and when the google desktop comes out for linux I will use that as well.

The problem is that I have traffic on my wordpress blogs now, and so I worry that if I change them I will loose some of that.

I guess I would like to think and hope that my traffic is only going to get bigger and better, so I am better off changing now... any suggestions?

The themes in blogger suck a bit, it looks a little less professional. I use my own URLs, so that's not an issue for me...

my primary service is blogger I have two blogs there and they are where I do most of my blogging. I do have one wordpress blog but it is part of a community of blogs for a local newspaper which reads the community blogs associated with them to publish blog entries.

I like blogger better due to being able to put HTML on it since the blog I have on wordpress for that newspaper is the version you cannot put HTML on it.

I use Blogger and WordPress. My first blog was at blogger and it is still my favorite bog just because I am more familiar with it.
I am not entirely happy with the lay out of photos with bloggers thought. I wish the lay out was more flexible.

I use Typepad myself. Lots of Wordpress users here.

I use Blogger... if I get into a program with lots of customization ability, I might not emerge from my den for days at a time. Best to restrict myself. ;)

I transferred from Blogger to Wordpress on my main blog, in addition to a private TypePad blog.

There's benefits to every program Blogger allowed me to modify themes but sucked on the user end. Wordpress hates java but has better functionality when it comes to future-dating posts and editing.

I used Blogger for a few years, then graduated to WordPress, with which I have a notorious love-hate relationship. Full updates make me want to kill myself, but in between I'm totally in love with WP's exquisite functionality.

I started with blogger and then, like most people - moved to wordpress self-hosting platform. I love the fact that they're both free... and wordpress gives me a great deal of freedom to whatever I want with the templates. I do have another blog that's a group blog, so free is perfect - I don't have to deal with financial burdens. I can't imagine going back to using only blogger now, cause it's so boring. But I still use my blogger whenever I post pictures because it always fits neatly and perfectly on my wordpress posts with alignments and all, and I don't have to deal with flickr.

Again, free is a big one for me - I thought about moving to typepad, but I realized I have to pay to use it on top of hosting for my own dot com link. No way.

Blogger for me, just makes it easy to get on and get off, say what I need to say, and exit. I like the layout of some other providers but I don't have the spare minutes in the day to
