So far, I am happy with my decision and have implemented a few plug-ins from the WP website, such as Akismet which helps block spam posts and All-in-One SEO Pack, as well as, FeedBurner FeedSmith.

I'm already using expression engine on a different server, and I've installed wordpress on servers, too. However, I started using blogger because 1) easy to use 2) freely available 3) hosted on elsewhere - not on my server 4) easy to template. What I'm trying to decide is whether I want to go back to my own server, where I would indeed, have complete control, or stick with a hosted site (for a lot of different reasons). I like wordpress.com a lot -- however, look at my poor tag cloud. Just a big mess. I will say that I seem to be getting more comments and feedback at wordpress.com, which could be an advantage over blogger. ..but if I'm going to pay, well, then maybe I need to go back to my own server first. ..but the difference with e107 (if I understand correctly) is in hosting on your server.

I appreciate your thoughts. In terms of style/theme, in blogger you do have complete control over that (should you want to update it in the future). At wordpress.com, there is a small cost for that functionality. I found blogger to be amazingly easy to use, too, but I really like the wordpress community and I also like the categories. ;-) thanks matthew. I appreciate your thoughts.

I chose blogger because I already had a just for fun blog on it. So it was easy to just click a couple buttons and get another one rolling. I figured why worry about it now? New blog, no content. Maybe one day I'll focus on the service, and the themes, and the features. Right now I just want to rant a little. It is very easy to do that with Blogger. I just started a new blog.
