Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have people tried Google Blogger?
eta: This is actually blogspot, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Blogger and Blogspot are the same.
Both Blogspot and Wordpress.com are free and pretty much instant to set up; my usual advice is to sign up for both -- you can play around with the admin interfaces that way, pick the one you like, and hold on to the other as a redirect/namesquat since there's no way everyone is ever going to remember which one you're on.

I prefer the Wordpress interface, but it's been ages since I've looked at Blogger.

Me too -- generally speaking, Blogger gives you more theme choices, but WP gives you much better admin tools. Still, some people really love or hate one or the other, and there's no way to know until you've played around with them.

Blogger has a very simple interface, but then offers you way way less opportunities for customization, both of appearance and customization like extra sidebars.
WordPress comes with PHP functions that tie into a backend MySQL database, thousands of free themes (i.e. HTML/CSS/PHP that arranges pictures and text), the ability to create your own theme from scratch, and control panels to deal with plugins, handling comments including spam trapping, and is scaleable up to your industrial-size sites.

I use Blogger and like it well enough for my simple needs.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I dislike blogger personally, but wordpress doesn't let you delete your account, so it just depends on how static you want your thing to be.
