After around 7 years of blogging and also after trying to attempt to create around 14 blogs on Blogger and self hosted blog on wordpress and attempting to create website using wix, weebly etc and having faced other issues of blogging.
Blogspot or blogger is the simplest and most reliable blogging platform.
My advice to newbies would be to start a single blog, and don't think about multiple blogs to have many niche blogs. You would face situations like bloggers block, that is after sometime you wouldn't get content to keep posting and your niche blog would starve for posts and content and eventually die out.Promoting your blog yourself is biggest turn down's you would face.Thus pen name would be good, if you are not about to create a blog with your name and turn it like a anonymous blog.
When it comes to technicalities a self hosted wordpress blog is vulnerable to hack attacks due to the wordpress software used.Mine was and i faced a nightmare to get that off. Simply hang on with Blogspot and if requirement persists buy a domain name and encapsulate it as your blog.
Once learned wordpress can be simple and well equipped but blogging is more about creating quality content than the sophistication of your blogging platform.
Best of all you wouldn't end up paying annual website hosting fees.
Lack of availability of sub domains on blogger is the drawback.
