Here's an interesting thread on SEO Titles with Blogger: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=3107&highlight=blog+title
Funny, this is one of the first questions I asked when joining this forum. I agree with wwhhomes. I went with WordPress (after a quick spell with blogger) and theres no looking back
Exactly what you are looking for... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=5612&page=1&highlight=Blog+recommendation
I really really like wordpress. MoveableType handles multiple blogs a little bit better IMO, but with wordpress all you have to do is install it multiple times for multiple blogs. Installing wordpress was about as difficult as making toast. Moveable Type on the other hand is a little more difficult. With both options, there is the concept of "permalinks" which can basically provide you with an easy .htm link to any blog entry so long as your host supports mod_rewrite. For those of you with hosting providers and not colocating or working with dedicated servers, you really have to look into how much freedom you have with the hosts. Mod_rewrite and database access should be minimal requirements. Installing perl extensions or having a long list of pre-installed modules should be looked at too. Things like XML or LWP for perl are really nice to have. Other things to take note of are whether the host has imagemagick or netpbm installed so you can do image manipulation - and also whether or not they have installed native php support to those programs. A lot of cgi / php scripts require extra extensions and you won't be able to use them unless the host has robust support for php and perl. Some alternatives to hosting are Virtual Servers, Colocation, and Managed Servers. Virtual Servers are like having your own server that you have root access to, but you share the physical computer with several other customers who all have access to their own environment on the machine. Colocation means renting out a little space in a data center to put your own server in. Managed Servers means that the company you rent a server from manages the security, patches, other admin work, but otherwise you have a lot of freedom to do whatever you want and no other websites are taking up CPU time or bandwidth on your server. Virtual Servers can be had for less than 15 bucks a month to maybe 75 depending on how much ram, bandwidth, and IP addresses you will need. Colocation is somewhere between 50 and 150 bucks a month plus bandwidth charges (I pay 4-5 bucks a gig for quality bandwidth), and dedicated servers go for between $100 and $400 a month. Obviously there are a lot of things to concern yourself with - where is the data center, what are my real expenses, how good is the bandwidth, etc., but when you get into running 3 or 4 websites it starts to make sense to go into a different direction rather than paying a webhost $10+ a month per site. I got into colocation because my webhost had reliability issues and the dollars just made sense.
With blogger you don't need another host (but I would recommend it), whilst you would need a host for a WordPress
My question is, does anyone who has used Blogger.com to manage multiple blogs now use WordPress or MT to manage those blogs? From what I have read, running multiple blogs is no where near as easy using WP, reading about MT now. The Blogger.com dashboard is just about the easiest thing to use...I would like to keep it that way. And, what about migrating past posts over to the new setup?
I use both Blogger (for a number of blogs) and WordPress (for 2 blogs), and I don't find it hard to run multiple blogs. Blogger dashboard is not bad, but I don't find keeping a database of separate posting links to be a problem. Blogger will not allow categories - that I think might be a problem sometimes. Also I didn't like Wordpress not allowing time stamp changes, but now I found you can have that via Advanced Editing button.
