Whatever blogging tool you use, you are not stuck with the limited number of template designs provided for them. With a little bit of editing, you can make your blog look nothing like “a blog”. Look around you, this is a blog, using Blogger’s API, thought the layout is entirely custom and it is hosted on my domain.
Blogger provides this introduction to the things you can do to tinker under the hood, but the concepts themselves can be applied, no matter what tool you use:
Personal expression isn’t limited to writing or sharing pictures. Some of us like to exercise our creativity on a different level, taking things apart to see how they work, and finding new ways to put them back together again. We strive to create functionality and build more tools to further the limits of our personal expression. We seek an environment that will respond to our skills. Blogger is that place.
Dreaming up a post and clicking Publish does not come naturally to everyone. For some, the joy comes from digging into the nitty-gritty details. Blogger lends itself to creating hacks. Not evil, breach-of-security type hacks, of course, but hacks in the O’Reilly sense of “clever solutions to interesting problems.”
