Blog Server Outages Too Frequent

I wanted to post an article last night and couldn't for several hours. I don't know what the problem is with Blogger's server, but it's happening too frequently for me. I'm not the only one experiencing this. A quick Technorati query confirmed that it's a frequent problem for users of this blogging tool. It's enough to make me want to switch — a thought that makes me want to cry, after all the hard work I've done customizing this template.

I should have investigated a bit more carefully (ah... those should'ves) before I settled on Blogger. I know WordPress has features Blogger lacks, but does it have server problems too? If the Technorati statistic of 1 new blog per second is true, servers everywhere must be groaning under the strain.

So how about it, folks. Please take a moment to comment. What blogging tool do you use? What do you like/dislike about it? Do you have problems with server outages?
