Other blogging systems?

I've been playing around with various other blogging systems. Personal opinions follow.
* Typepad had lots of functionality, but if anything too much. It took too long and too much fiddling to get something up in more or less the format I wanted.
* Blogger (the Google one) was fun and easy to use, but didn't have enough functionality. I use it for a work blog. The Isle of Skye living blog is very well laid out, so it can be done.
* Livejournal I found too clunky. Also, the livejournal community seemed to be inhabited mainly by teens, and the system is much more oriented towards livejournal friends and less towards posting.
* Myspace: like livejournal, but more extreme. Output looks awful, and most of the other posters are about half my age.
* Wordpress am with at the moment. See Free and has a good level of functionality. I like the way of creating posts in this from inside a Flickr account. I'd like a better selection of templates though (some are just plain awful).
Do other bloggers on here use other blogging systems? Any particular favourites (and why)?

I've never looked at any other blog sites. I like this one because it makes me feel part of something local but bigger.

Do you get the same level of interest / responses / information / humour from other blog sites?

I use Yahoo360 It's easy to use and you can add your own photos. You can restrict use to friends or be public. I find it better and more fun than sending emails.
