Blogger.com blog vs. blog provided with web page

Originally, before the web page, I'd created this blog page for Dwarvenhole. Once I created the web page, I noticed that it comes with a tool to add a blog page. I was thinking of just using the blog page provided with the web page, but messed around and tested and found out that it would require the username and password for the site to post a blog on that blog. Whereas with blogger.com, authors could be added. The authors could use their own email address and password. Besides, I know people like to experiment, me included. I'd prefer to have everyone that joins the guild have the ability to post blogs, not just comment on a blog (boring). This is where the experimentation comes in. If I gave everyone the username and password for the web site, I think it would be an ever changing site; well for about a week or so after a new member is added. It's a cheap free website, but hey, if I could afford a domain, I'd probably be playing WoW (hey, if I had the money I figure WoW would be a good thing to waste it on each month, but alas, in Utah the cost of living goes up while the wages don't). I figured that the Dwarvenhole guild just as well have a web site and blog page though so everyone (new members included) had a way of communicating without having to be in the game. The web site should be accessible on any computer with access to the Internet (that IT has not locked down of course), while Guild Wars is only accessible on computers that have it installed. So that's why the blog page link brings you to a blogger.com site in a nut shell. ;-)
