As I “mentioned earlier”:https://blog.org/archives/cat_weblogs.html#000766, the people behind Moveable Type (and many of the other competitors to Blogger) are failing to offer real choice to the low-end weblogger because they lack a free hosted option. Now Blogger has upped the ante by dropping the remaining fees that were charged to Blogger Pro users and making those features available to all Blogger users. I’m guessing it’s gearing up to face the competition from “AOL”:https://blog.org/archives/cat_weblogs.html#000813.

It must be said that the “additional features”:http://new.blogger.com/feature_giveaway/announcement.pyra offered in Blogger Pro are nothing to write home about and MT (which powers this weblog) still leaves Blogger well behind in the features race…
