Best blogging site?

Hi guys i was wondering what is the general consensus about the best blogging site? I currently blog on wordpress and although its pretty good its very frustrating how limited you are as to design of your blog. I'm stuck with a theme thats okay but not expressing me too well. Traffic no matter how well i tag and categorise my blogs is minimal and i just wondered if there were other better sites? of course my blog could just be total drivel that nobody wants to read but i'll pick that option last :D

I think you mean Blogging Platform. Anyways, thats actually depending on your needs and how you use it. If you are trying to gain massive traffic, a self-hosted wordpress + a custom domain + targeted keywords + consistent posting + SEO + SMM should do the trick.

If you wanna experiment around, here's several free-hosted blogging platforms; Wordpress, Blogspot, Tumblr, MovableType, and I think there were more but I forgot.

Otherwise, here's a couple of self-hosting blogging platforms you can use and customize with; Joomla!, Drupal, Magento.

I have tried both Wordpress and Blogger and I can honestly say that I prefer Blogger as it is a lot easier to use. It is as simple as that.

I have always wanted to try Tumblr but I don't fancy managing another blog just yet.

If you are after "traffic", I think using Wordpress or Blogger doesn't matter. Joining sites like this (Bloggers.com) helps you with traffic. Have you heard of The Blog Farm? You can list your blog there and write some comments. That will help with traffic, too. Visit and comment blogs often. The blog owner and his/her readers might visit your blog back. This is so important because it's a sort of marketing strategy. :D

The best term to use is "networking" albeit it's under "marketing". =)
