Textpattern

OK, I like Textpattern better than WordPress. But I still wonder if I’m doing too much work here. It’s just a damn blog like every other blog. Is there any reason I need to roll my own software, do my own hosting? Is there any reason I shouldn’t just go on blogspot and not worry about it?

I just discovered some glitchy stuff in Textpattern’s date handling in textpattern and it’s making me cranky.
