Why Blogger API vs Base?

I posted this over in Base API board, but I am about to
develop a
scientific blog.  This blog is a little different in that it
contains
`scientific' data uploads.  For instance, I have a set of
locations
and temperatures (thousands) that may be posted alongside
each entry,
as well as many image uploads and comments/questions posted
from 2nd/
3rd parties.

My understanding is that Blogger doesn't really support
custom tagged
data (those locs with temps) on posts nor image upload (and
scaled URL
refs) via API nor other-person comments from the API
either?

I have thus considered Base instead as it can support these
uses.  Can
someone speak to where I may be overlooking aspects of
Blogger?

Thanks

I think that your evaluation is basically correct. Blogger
does not
support custom data, and its comment API probably does not
have all
the features that you want.

Base will likely give you the data storage model that you're
looking
for, and the expense of the more blog-specific features and
presentation that you'd get from Blogger.
