While I do most of my blog compositions in a regular text editor and then paste them into the back end webpage, I have played around with a few blogging tools like MarsEdit. One of the other interesting ones is <a href="http://www.flock.com/" rel="nofollow">Flock</a>, a build of firefox with social media in mind. Like MarsEdit, it has blogging, flickr, youtube and other features built in. I haven't used it in a while, but it was cool at the time. As far as uploading the pics, it took about two hours on my four meg up connection at the office. While my downloads are faster at home, the balanced connection at the office is so much better for uploads. That <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/acidmaple/sets/72157603867003112/" rel="nofollow">flickr set</a> accounts for the combined photos of four different cameras, ranging from 3.2 to 8.1 megapixels, so file sizes were very erratic throughout the upload.

If by not as strong, you mean (in part) slower page loads - I'll agree whole-heartedly. So far I'm not sure I like the interface as much either... plus there's a few things I use that are integrated with Flickr quite nicely (like my blogging tool: MarsEdit for one). By the way... 1700 pics! I was looking at some of them the other day (pretty cool by the way). How long did it take to upload? I get impatient waiting on half a dozen. 1700 sounds like an overnighter. I was just playing around with Picasa the other day (for the first time).
