Answer 3

I've been blogging from my own personal site since November since leaving Blogger and Livejournal and probably ever other blogging site known to man and I love it, it might be because I use my site for so much more than blogging. I use it as a portfolio and a few other things. I know html and stuff so customization is easier for me.

Theres so many possibilities. The only thing is, having your own domain and hosting for your domain costs money as these other services are free
