I've used blogger quite a few times... must admit I struggled along with it, and it really was trial and error.
The thing I've found it most useful for is selling items on ebay. If I have an item that warrants really high quality images... eBay will charge plenty to post lots of images with an auction, and they wont give great detail. What I do is load the images to Blogger, and then put a link in the auction to blogger. Therefore I dont need to pay eBay for the privilege, and the images will be of an amazing quality.

This was one image of a £4000 downhill bike that I sold last year.... eBays image quality would'nt have done justice to it.
So yes Blogger can be good, but you just have to persevere.
