    alrighty, my 2 cents.

    i've used blogger, text pattern, wordpress and typepad and have to vote wordpress.

    expression engine is awesome but a cms more than a blog solution. it's slightly overkill for just a blog but if you can get your head around it is a fantastic tool.

    wordpress since 2.1 (or whatever) started becoming incredible in it's ease of use and editability. 2.5 up has made it a great cms also. there's a crapload of themes and editiing and expanding it through plugins (for free) is awesome.

    theme wise - be careful of freebies. i've used a few themes across multiple clients and personal projects and have found that most free themes are not great and hard to expand past their original intent. as many of the best commercials themes are around US$100 - $200 they are more than affordable for commercial or personal projects.

    good luck!
