Nice. Looks like you have a good professionally oriented blog going. Why did you pick ORG though? The distinctions between com, net and org are irrelevant these days, and com is the expected one these days. Anyway, you should try considering WordPress. They allow you to host from them, but you can also just purchase your own domain and manage your own WP blog on your website, like I did (http://www.bryangoodrich.com/blog). It gives you much more control over the content, but then of course you have to put more effort into it. Trade offs.
@bryangoodrich - I just like being all nonprofity. Any church worth it's salt is a dot org, and as profit is the farthest thing from my mind, I figured, why not? You're right, though...there is no functional distinction these days.
I considered WordPress, and have a pied a terre there. Blogger also permits hosting, and provides certain functionalities for free that are $$$ from WordPress. Both are solid platforms, but I found blogger more amenable to my marginal technical skills.
