    I'm looking for ease of use, powerful control panel, multiple users, Good features and addons, and most of easy to maintain. This blog is going to a Technology News blog. But it's possible it may have other things on it too. There are so many blogging applications to use i'm stuck for choice. So what have used and what would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

    If you want an application which allow you to do many things, then Drupal is a great CMS that you may use to blog. Its an open source and there are many Modules that you may install for your needs.

    I'm addicted to WordPress.
    It is the best blogging system in my opinion.
    WordPress has a great community around it and many more advantages.

    I seconded WordPress, it is the most popular around and there are plenty of plugins as well as great free templates.

    You are confused, if you use the free blog hosting services of wordpress.com you can't put adverts, but if you use a hosting services and install your own Word Press blogs, you can put in anything you want. There is a difference between the free blog hosting provided by wordpress.com and the free blog software provided by wordpress.org :)

    start with blogspot.com because it is free and you can put your adsense stuff.
    if you feel you need to upgrade to wordpress then you do it.

    USE wordpress.org. Blogger, Drupal, Joomla, all sucks when it comes to a blog compared to wordpress. Its easy to maintain and its simply the best.
