blogger v. wordpress (and typepad)

I've tried about three blog sites, and I haven't used them extensively, but I'll tell you what I know.

• blogger.com
  • hosts this site (and http://anything.blogspot.com)
  • it's free
  • statistics are minimal, but you can add free counters/trackers from http://clustrmaps.com and http://www.onestatfree.com and their ilk
  • you can preview your formatting while disconnected because of humongus javascript downloaded into your browser. This is the best thing about blogger in my opinion.
• wordpress.com
  • hosts http://waywords.wordpress.com
  • it's free
  • statistics and lots of other cool widgets are built-in; of course you can also add http://clustrmaps.com etc. if you like
  • BUT: preview inevitably results in a save to the mothership; your preview comes from there. So no offline previewing. If you're always connected this isn't an issue, but I'm often out of wifi's reach so this is a bummer.
• typepad
  • hosts http://californiaroll.blogs.com (blog of the lovely Carol) and http://anything.blogs.com
  • it costs like $5-$6 a month maybe?
  • At times I have felt that the site had fewer outages than blogger.com, but that was just a feeling. blogger.com has been pretty good lately. I haven't been using wordpress.com very long but I haven't encountered any wordpress.com outages. No idea whether this impression has any basis in reality.
  • I haven't tried doing anything offline with typepad.

Here's a table to summarize what I know (which isn't much!) about these sites:

site	price	bells&whistles	edit/preview offline?
blogger.com	free	spartan	YES!
typepad.com	$5-$6/month	?	?
wordpress.com	free	extensive	No
