Which Blog software to use? which one is good.

[XXXmen]

I'm on a mac and plan to create a blog. I want to add short video's, slideshow of pictures and easy access to update. Is it possible to update a blog from my regular email? I'm looking for a blog software that I can eventually add to my personal site once created. Please help. Thanks.

Which one is better Blogger or Typepad ? Reasons why I should choose one over the other?

WordPress is a popular one

Which one would be most compatible and mac friendly to use as a blog site?

WordPress, though you have to keep your tabs up when updates come, as security holes tend to creep up from time to time. The plugin support is just awesome.

EDIT: Any web-based blogging CMS would work on any OS. It mostly depends on the browser rather than the OS whether you can use it or not (unless you are using client-side blog tools).

I use blogger myself. I think if you want to get started, that's good place to go. Web based is easy, you can log in from any machine, and you can blog by email (AKA blogging from work!)
