not really.. i just have to weighed down why people pony up for self-hosted when they can do it with free and make same money..
ok sorry for ugly term... because i have some blogger blogs that make hundred a month which is not bad i feel..
blogspot does not suck - it can help - don't forget that it is a free service But it's better to have your own domain name, wordpress and a reliable hosting service indeed
You can add on a domain name to a blogger blog can't you? I love Google, but blogger is lacking in some key areas of functionality that I wish they'd hurry up and improve on already.
free things like this are a great way to get started, not everyone is interested in making money they just want to express themselves, I do agree though that getting your own domain and learning how to use wordpress is a much better option for just about anyone
blogspot is blocked in China by the Great firewall. You can only read those blogs using a proxy, some of them don't work correctly with a proxy
