I am thinking of finally getting into the blog bandwagon. I do have a .Mac account therefore I was thinking of using either BlogStudio for .Mac or iBlog. Does anyone have opinions on which of the above blog applications is better intergrated with .Mac? In which application is it easier to enter and update your blogs in?

If there is something that I have not thought of, please let me know.

Also, does anyone know the real deal regarding iBlog and .Mac? Some people say that it is still a .Mac freebie while others say you must re-register it. If iBlog is a .Mac freebie, how do you go about registering it?

I'm a .Mac subscriber too and would be very interested to know the answer to this query myself.

iBlog was once a .mac freebie, it was for a limited time.
I've used iBlog for a while, so I can only offer one piece of advice - iBlog is also a newsreader, and can publish via ftp.

I have .mac and downloaded iBlog when it was originally available. It is easy to use and I really enjoy it.
