I use blogger, too. When I started blogging, I noticed more blogs with 'blogspot' in their addresses than anything else. Plus it's free!

I use Blogger. I like it, but honestly since I haven't tried any other platforms I don't really know how it compares. It is fairly easy to use, yet still customizable and like Ali said it's Free.

I use Wordpress, but haven't tried any others. I have noticed that Blogger blogs tend to have nicer designs. I don't know if they come with Blogger or what. The one time I found some really nice free mom blog designs, they were only good for Blogger. I have heard lots of complaints about Blogger though.... At the same time, Wordpress really bugs me when I go to the Codex and it has wrong information, which it almost always seems to. The other day I was trying to figure out how to turn the "more" tag off on my home page and the Codex said it should default to off on the home page. Finally my husband had to put code in that told it to turn off on the home page. Fortunately, he knows php or I wouldn't have been able to do it. Then they upgraded Wordpress yesterday and it updated that page and I had to enter the code all over again. Irksome!

I'm a Google fan overall. I use Blogger & Gmail. I think Blogger is user friendly, but you can still tinker with the html in your layouts to get a unique look. Now-a-days, Blogger has a lot of the same features as Wordpress, so it's all good. :)

Oh...and FREE is very good.

I use blogger. I am a creature of habit and hate change. This was the easiest for me to use when I first started. I have tried the others. They all have their pros and cons but I like blogger better still. I like the functionality of it and (i could be wrong, but) I think it gets indexed quicker. Things may have changed since I last tried the other options, but like I said, I am a creature of habit and I am happy with blogger.

Blogger was the only one I'd heard of when I started my blog over three years ago, and I have looked into other platforms, but I'm very happy where I am.

I've used self-hosted WordPress since I started blogging in 2006. I absolutely love that I have completely customization control.
