I'm looking for opinions on blogger space. Which are the most user friendly sites?

I'm pretty new to blogging even though I spend a decent amount of time online whether it is for my job, personal research, shopping, email or whatever. I'm thinking of doing some of my personal journaling online. I had previously used easyjournal.com and found that many times when I want to view past entries it sends an error message and it takes a few tries to get it to work. Also, you have to pay a fee to upload photos and use other features. I'm thinking that I may start private and then move on to inviting other friends to view my entries and respond or contribute. What are your favorite sites that offer space? I've only recently taken a brief tour of eblogger.com and that looked intriguing. Thanks for opinions and input!

For a feature by feature comparison between Wordpress.com and Blogger.com (the two biggest free sites) see :
Reply:Try out Yahoo! 360. It allows you to have a profile that will let you Blog. It also has settings that you can either have it private, just friends or have everyone publicly see your profile, including the blog. Photos are free to upload onto Yahoo and you have the option to share your Photo Albums on your Yahoo! 360 Page. Hope this helps.
Reply:Yahoo! has its several good points, as does www.blogger.com, compare and contrast. Both, too, have those controls for who can look and who can't, who can reply and who can't, how much you can customize the look and how much you can leave it alone, and all that...Of course, both are free, so it certainly wouldn't hurt to have one of each.
