Livejournal has the added advantage of being able to 'lock' specific posts so that they are only visible to friends that you specify. Blogger does not have this feature. both are free.
i am also using the Blogger (free) + flickr (pro) combination.
for those of you who uses www.blogger.com...when you website launch, are the characters in english or chinese ah? I keep seeing chinese characters ...just cant seem to see one with english wordings....any advise? :dunno:
