It's supposed to be easier, but there are more clicks to do things and uploading images can be a pain in the neck sometimes.
It takes a while to put a post together and it's really annoying that the formatting is sometimes whacky and to fix it you have to go between the normal view and the HTML view. Cutting and pasting can lose paragraph spacings and you can't put the "quote" indents in unless you're in the HTML view.
Arrgh.
And I've been crook and don't have time to mess around with this crap with blogger.
