Blogging Advice? - Best sites?

Im a sucker for "being" different, blogger seemed too common.

So am I, I went for Tumblr which is fucking great, surprisingly flexible and easy, I managed to score a great looking theme and added a photo my girlfriend took of London in the background;

And to me wordpress looked old fashioned and fiddly. I mean, do you really need to install an app & get an ftp to run it from? seems excessive.

wordpress is the Linux of blogging, it's just too complicated for even me.
