Blow-gger...

Finally done with Blogger. Server was down this AM, then got pages all jumbled up, stuff missing, posts that show up in the blog but not in the Blogger control panel. Any feedback on the alternatives greatly appreciated - I have web real estate available so I'm leaning toward hosting my own with Movable Type. I'd rather not spend $99, but on the other hand, its worth it if I can get rid of the aggravation...
