I have had little luck with Blogger, in part because I find it hard to use in general.

Blog On The Web is not too bad. But since the new software there, and since I’m not much for the CSS language, I can’t seem too customize the way I’d like… but that is alright. I like it and what they have enough to stay there for now. If I keep writing there, that is.

Bill, I think that that list would be stupdenously large. I often wonder how many blogs blogger.com has. I bet they use computer programs to delete blogs, rather than have staff do it (that explains the canned email responses too).

English Guy: I’ve never had a blog deleted, but I have had a blog taken over by new users after they sat unused for a few months.

Has anyone compiled a list of blogs lost in this way?

And don't forget that Blogger is deleting real blogs for absolutely no reason too.

I must say that I experienced none of this when I moved from my Blogger site to my new digs. I suppose, your mileage my vary applies here. Good luck to your friend in joining the wily blogoshpere and the world of self-hosting.
