I suggest looking at Tumblr. I've kept a blog on Blogger for a few years, and as George says it's well integrated with G+. It's also easy to post to from Flickr, and it displays helpful stats so you can see what gets read and where your traffic comes from. And it's free.
But I've found Blogger's overall look to be ugly and Blogger blogs tend to look a lot like each other. It also doesn't help you to display small galleries or sets of images nicely. So my current choice and what I'm moving onto is Tumblr. It's more customizable, there's a very active community of photographers and artists there, and even the default templates produce a cleaner and less ugly look than other blogging platform sites. It has a very clean photo-gallery display. Tumblr doesn't collect stats for you but you can easily hook it into Google Analytics, which I have and found it works fine. You can create as many individual specific blogs (trips, photography, bookmarked articles) as you want on Tumblr and keep them all under one umbrella -- ie they all appear in your dashboard together. Tumblr too is free. My Blogger: http://blog.brucemwalker.com/ It's rather schizo. It's mainly about my photography, but I randomly post other stuff there. I came to realize that I need to create multiple specific blogs. My first Tumblr: http://off-axis.brucemwalker.com/ Specifically for my portrait, fashion, glam, creative project shooting.
