I use Typepad for my semantically driven blog but Wordpress for my safari suit blog. I like wordpress because it is so full of features, but therefore easier to potentially stuff up.

Thanks for the tips.

Even so, have installed it for other people who are not at all techy and who report they find it easy to use.<br/>Re the 'robots.txt' in Blogger - you can get round it by removing the reference to it in the template. I think maybe one needs to leave one's URL in HTML within the comments in order to earn the no-follow link love - not <i>quite</i> sure about that, or if it the blog link in the blogger's name is followed. I've removed the 'robots.txt' references from my template anyway, and just hope it works. :-)<br/><br/>Labels are important to Google and it really is worth taking the time to add them.

A much more flexible system and the support forums are really good.

I currently use wordpress and I haven't looked back. I'm free to edit, change, add etc without any restrictions at all (well, very little anyway!).<br/><br/>I do agree that it can be a little technical, like with installing plugins etc - if I didn't have my boyfriend Phill I would be struggling a lot now, but it's easy to use when it comes to editing your profile, etc. <br/><br/>I think it's a good thing to look into if you're serious about blogging and want something more unique and which allows more freedom.
