As others have said, do what takes the least maintenance overhead for you personally. I originally hand coded my blogs and got very little actual writing done.

As others have said, do what takes the least maintenance overhead for you personally. I originally hand coded my blogs and got very little actual writing done. I moved to Word Press and got a little more actual writing done. I moved to BlogSpot and I get a lot more writing done, though I hear people talk trash about it all the time. Do whatever allows you to focus on the writing, not the backend.
