I don't recall any articles fitting that criteria heed.

Also, to bring up  a suggestion for the 3rd time, sections; I still want some ideas for dividing content into different categories.
Use tags, not sections.
Also, just add them when the need arises (for example, if you make a post about the drama about Dren's mod you could tag it with DrenDran, modification, drama and (if it applies) opinion.

Hmm..

Thing is, blogger works buy using the tags as the categories, if you want a category list. Otherwise, you end up with this massive list of tags which feels messy to me. Usually the search engine picks up content from the title mostly so I have to weave in the best there. :o

Wordpress.com?

Too late for that. I'm on Blogger. And it was an intentional choice over Wordpress, which is crap unless you can host it yourself. :I

Well, Blogger seems to be crap too.
Also, you could probably import it through RSS, at least with self-hosted wordpress.

Also, it seems to me like that all hosted blogging services are crap.

Haha yeah. I use Blogger just for its customization ability over Wordpress hosted right now. Seems a bit of a backward step. Some people add tags in the actual post, maybe that could work? :o

No, no, no. A main advantage with tags is that you can click it to only see other posts with that tag, that would negate it.
Also, you should seriously have a look at Drupal Gardens. That's probably about as customizable as it gets.

Well, there was this system a friend of mine used, that shows related posts in the article at the bottom. That could work.

No.

Why not create your own blog site without the services?

Well, there are many (freely available) "already done" CMS packages.

He'd also need to pay.


Actually I can script fine in HTML and CSS, I've been paid for my web services. But those are simple languages as we all know, I am design heavy.

I don't have the time to learn PHP or what have you. CMS packages are useless unless you host yourself, editing bloggers tagging system can't be done.
