Right, sigged as well.
I was wondering, is there any real differance between the differant blogging services? I happen to use to use LJ because it was the first one I have heard of, but I'm still a bit curious about how you guys are enjoying your blogging software.

Definitely big differences in each service. My favorite is LJ, though, because you can download a "client" that makes everything SO much easier/faster, and will even auto-save your post every few seconds (or however long you set it for) in case something goes wrong.
I am writing about Jm in my signature because apparently it's an effective method of ignoring him.

I tend to keep away from blogs for the most part. I never liked having to write diarys at school as a kid, and it follows through to the present. Plus, I don't really do much that would be interesting to read about.

I don't really write about things I do. It's more that I try to improve my satire qualities through things I read in the papers and see on the news and books I recommend, and occasionaly, I update about the process of my writing.

Well, lets not forget that Less Is More was orginially a Blogspot site. That worked quite well, you could manipulate it however you wanted it with great, great ease (at least, if you're a HTML boff like me, nyark nyark), but changing the template did wipe out all the modifications you made, which pissed me off royally.
LJ isn't so flexible, but its easier to use.

My favorite thing about blogspot is that if your internet browser crashes you can get at least some of your update back.

The main things I remember about the Less is More of the old days, was that I updated there almost weekly and it lacked pink. Hey, the new LiM still lacks pink.

You're still quite welcome to write for Less Is More, and pink is not within the sensibilities of Less Is More...

Which is by no means a bad thing. The last thing Chylds Gothic looking internet hell hole needs is someone fruitifying it.
I want to go back to the films of the 80's, where plots were simple, and explosions happened regularly....

Actually pink is all the rage in style nowadays. Guys and girls have started intigrating it into their wardrobe. In essance, pink has become the new black.

Blogspot...? It's called Blogger, people. 
Blogger is the software that powers Blogspot. So there.
I use Greymatter to power Heccubus.Blog. It's actually very easy to install, and just as customizable as the higher end blogging tools like Moveable Type and Wordpress. It's also cheap as free.
As far as weblog providers go, LiveJournal is still the best way to go for a free blogging service. There's also Myspace, Blogspot, 22blog, and literally hundreds of others. Still, though, if you want a free weblog, it's best to stick with LJ. In my opinion, at least.

Damn right. I'm sick of this trend to add femininity to my wardrobe! Resist my heterosexual brothers and sisters! RESIST!

I will however confess to owning a pink pair of boxer shorts, but they were a present, and they're comfortable.....
