Just came across this free open source blogging tool called b2evolution
I haven't given it a whirl yet, but it claims to be similar to Movable Type except that it's PHP instead of perl. It also claims to be much more feature packed than Blogger - and while it's clear that they are referring to an older version of Blogger, b2evolution does support categories, subcategories, trackbacks, pings, and even the ability to have templates that display multiple blogs in different panes -- pretty cool.
My biggest concern regarding using it is whether or not it is still actively supported (since the website itself is clearly referring to a very old version of Blogger). It also doesn't appear to have the WYSIWYG editor that Blogger has. And obviously, you need to host it on your own server (not a problem for me), but that also means you need to know how to install it - after I've tried that, I'll let you know how it goes.
