Blogger doesn't get in the way of my writing. It offers few choices in terms of templates and layout. Since I am not overwhelmed with choices, I make them and then get on with the writing part. Even the new Blogger in Draft, which is a nice improvement over the existing Blogger doesn't yet offer any new templates. It does, however, let you establish a Google account, answer a few setup questions, and start delivering your thoughts to the web in just minutes. I happen to think easier is better.
I'd guess that by now, all of the technorati already know how to blog, and they've picked whatever tool they'd like to fight over. At this point in my career, and on the call-in radio show, I am now most frequently asked how to start in blogging by those who aren't technical, but do seem to have something interesting to say. For them, I generally recommend Blogger as a starter platform. They may never leave. I, for example, started my personal blog in June 2002 on Blogger, and it and I continue with Blogger to this day.
