Lack of blog posts

I really wana blog more but I have 2 obstacles nowadays:

1) Blogspot is not reliable. I either cannot upload my pictures, or I totally cannot write a blog post with words.

2) I don't have the software to download pix from my hp to the laptop. Plus, it only has bluetooth whereas my laptop only has infra red.

How how.. Maybe I should start a new blog somewhere else. I wonder if livejournal is better?
