For some time now, we've been documenting how people can take advantage of Google's Blogger service to make blogs that really showcase their incredible content by using the flexibility provided by this free hosted service. That's why we were surprised when we came across an article showcasing the blog platforms of choice among the top 100 blogs and noticed three things: that very few of those blogs use Blogger (3%, one of which is Google's Blogger Blog so really only 2%), that the majority of the blogs listed there are exceptionally unattractive and/or use default templates*, and that the ones that are good looking are all custom software (A List Apart is a good example).
