As someone who is thinking about starting my own bike blog momentarily I find this post very interesting. What other blogging software are you looking into?
dreamlet, I was thinking of WordPress. I've been playing around with it on a photoblog I started, and I quite like it. - http://jeremygoertz.wordpress.com/ -
Tamia, you and Jeff Moser have both recommended the Word Press. It seems to have so many more features and you have a "richer" looking page.
I think I was originally drawn to blogger because it is so simple to use, and for one who may not have any experience, or be frightened by programming and WebPages with lots of options, blogger is a much simpler interface. The price of that is it’s much more restrictive in what you can do. The reason behind me feeling this way (and posting this post) was because I uploaded a bunch of photos for a posts, and blogger wasn’t letting me move them around the way I wanted to. It seems like you need to figure out the order and layout you want them inserted into your post before you upload them. Once they’ve been uploaded, you’re pretty much stuck with the way they are (or they will be altered i.e.: clicking on the picture will no longer make it a larger view). That sort of stuff.

I use WordPress software and have a site of my own hosted at Laughing Squid. I've been happy with both.
