I used to use LiveWriter all the time for my blogging, but it's now nigh impossible to get it to work with Blogger and I hate the Blogger editor. I've just very nearly given up blogging because it's such a hassle to get it to "publish". Especially if I want to include pictures of my layouts, cards, etc.

Has anyone used any other (free) blog platforms for their craft blogs? I've heard of some such as blog.com, tumblr.com, etc.? I'd like to know if they're any easier to use.
