Choosing a new blogging service

So, I've realized that I should maybe set up on a new blog site sooner rather than later, since I don't know if I'll always have access to this blog, and I might as well set up a new blog not connected to MIT.

So my question for you bloggers and blog-readers:  what service should I use?  I'm not looking to have to pay for posting; I just want a personal blog.

I've used livejournal in the past, but I feel like that's not very popular anymore, and there might be better sites out there.  I guess there's Blogger.com, which seems to be the same thing as blogspot.  And since I already have a gmail account, I'm already kind of signed up for a blog there?

It also looks like lots of people have advertisements on their sites.  I think I would prefer not to have them, though many people are making money by doing so...not sure how I feel about that.

Anyway, any input on a blogging site to use, please let me know!

Thanks!


[Edit:  I also came across WordPress.  Any input on that one?]
