I've gone for "Blogger", is there anything exciting Wordpress offers that could tempt me over? I'm using the web interface at the moment, its a bit clumsy, are there any good linux desktop applications that make it easier to type up and organise posts?
The most exciting things that Wordpress offers are better anti-spam tools (instead of Google's disability-discriminating and inappropriate-use-of-wheelchair-icon-using "visual verification") and it's free and open source software (FOSS). One benefit of being FOSS is that there is a choice of handy helpers like http://deepestsender.mozdev.org/ or those at https://addons.mozilla.org/ or applications like http://drivel.sourceforge.net/ and http://qtm.blogistan.co.uk/
Hope that helps,
