These days, I am thinking that relying heavily on a particular Blog service has a risk. Those services will be eventually gone. Blogger is no exception. Like all the services Google purchased and abandoned in the past. I don't want to risk losing all the writings I intended to publish on the Internet.
But, blogging is not that important enough for me to set up a my very own dedicated web server.
So, these days, I'm simply using GitHub Pages for the blog. I realized all I need is to host static HTML files. I can write locally with my favourite text editor, git commit & git push to publish it. No need to use web browser at all.
Even if GitHub is gone, I have entire data on my multiple storages I owned and rented.
I can do this with other Blog services but I have to automate the web browser operation to copy&paste the writings for each blog services, which is not necessary if I simply use GitHub.

If for some reason you wind up wanting to move off of GitHub, I've found Linodes bottom tier to be great for hosting a small static site. You do have to configure the webserver yourself of course, but it's a step down in complexity from self hosting.
