I want to avoid getting bogged down in technical issues, so I keep things pretty simple. I'm sure that speeds up loading time. There are a few things that are a little awkward, but I put up with them because the price is right. I'm definitely a satisfied customer and would recommend Blogger for simple Web sites.
