Well Wordpress for instance uses approx 15-18 database calls PER PAGE. Multiply that times a couple hundred thousand pageviews per and you can see youll need a couple of servers or a really powerful one to run a single popular blog.

What's so good or bad about blogger.com then?

Blogger is a static solution. Remote administration and or various clients able to update it. Can be moved to new hosts quickly. Actually alot is erally good about blogger there just isnt alot in the way of customization other than raw templates.

Press the button for WordPress. All my blogs, both present and future are on it.

If you're unsure, go with wordpress. It is a well used and well supported script.

Fuck, that's a lot.

Yeah I agree with cambaby and he does know his shit. It took me a few days to drop the $200 on it but I just went with wordpress. Its a working script that is commercial and won't have problems with. Also it builds static pages. Though you can have it load dynamic pages.

For my above post I meant movabletype lol not wordpress.
