I spent a good couple of hours working on MyBlogSite. The site claims, "MyBlogSite is by far the best blog tool on the net. It's easy to use for those that need the help. But it has the most comprehensive tool set for web savvy experts." And IMHO, they are correct. In the matter of a few minutes, I was able to configure a blog, which is mostly done by dragging and dropping spaces around a web form, but you can also edit the HTML behind these spaces. You can add your own AdSense, remove their AdSense and post using APIs or their WYSIWYG control.
Compared to Blogger, it's a lot more responsive. Like Blogger, it's free. Both are equally very easy to use as compared to most blogging tools. Blogger doesn't support RSS or MetaWeblogApi, whereas MyBlogSite does.
Compared to Typepad, I like to consider it the best achievement in technical blogging platform. Now there's a tie for the lead technical blogging platform. The tiebreaker is that MyBlogSite is free, whereas Typepad is not. You can get a free version of Typepad through Friendster, but free Friendster blogs are ad-supported and although MyBlogSite is also ad-supported, the ads can be easily removed.
MyBlogsite.com use to be really great. Now it sucks! They deleted some of my blogs without prior notice. I would avoid them.

To shock you more, I signed up, they deleted my account but informed me of this referring to their terms and conditions. When I asked why because I didn't see it SPELLED OUT in their terms and conditions, here was MyBlogSite.com's response:
I can tell you I do not hang out with prostitutes, I don't even gamble but market online casinos; I don't market sex; since their terms and conditions did not state specifically "no gambling" I wanted to know what I had misinterpreted. That was MyBlogSite.com's response. Gambling online for US citizens has become (clearly) illegal since November last year but gambling all about the US is considered normal in Las Vegas, the lotteries everywhere, the dog races, the horse races is quite normal. What's with all the mixed language anyway?
I find MyBlogSite very good , but can you tell me why I get the message Certificate error and warning about opening blog?
I have created an account with MyBlogSite since Sunday but up 'til now, I haven't gone to my site because it seems to take 48 years to open it! So frustrating ... maybe i'll just try Blogger instead.
