advogato is probably as bad as you can get. No category support, no page
styling, no good posting easing code (though gnome-blog application
speaks its XML-RPC language), no nothing really.
As soon I was offered a possibility to be hosted on b2evolution on
planet.gentoo.org/developers, I took it without much thought (I chose
advogato initially only because I couldn't host my own wordpress,
livejournal and blogger had my leio nickname already taken and
wordpress.com didn't exist yet as a blogging account offerer).

Maybe worth elaborating is the setup for gentoo - planet.gentoo.org is
the planetplanet powered planet. planet.g.o/developers is the
b2evolution powered blogging software for those devs that don't have a
blog elsewhere and want one. But we aren't that big for this kind of
bigger infrastructure.

If you don't want Pluto, then there's Planet.

The list of projects whose planets it is used on speaks for itself.
