Blogger Vs. Regular Site Hosted by Godaddy (or other hosting company)

I am thinking about using blogger as my next site - much easier to setup things - and I have a lot of content to put out there.

Couple things do concern me though. I'm used to building websites (I usually use templates and then modify the HTML) where I can modify the alt attribute off the imgage tag, modify the title tags as well as the meta description tag and other things where it becomes very important for on-site optimization. Basically, I'm free to use HTML to the max.
However, with Blogger, I haven't used it that much. I do believe you can alter the title tag, but not quite sure if you can alter anyother HTML at all.

With creating my own site (my host would be godaddy), if I have a lot of content - it does take me a long time. However, with Blogger, it looks very easy to throw the content in and be done with it.

I guess my two questions is this:
1) Can I alter HTML in Blogger just like I can w/ a regular site?
2) Which is better in on-page optimization - Blogger or a website that is hosted by Godaddy or hostGator?

I've never used Blogger so I can't really say what you can and can't do. I know you can make some changes to the template, but how much I'm not sure.

However you'll never to be able to make as man changes to your site being on Blogger as you will having it be self hosted on GoDaddy, HostGator, or any other web host. The self-hosted route is the better option if you care about seo and if this is a business site.

If the site is a personal or hobby site where you aren't looking to make any money then Blogger will be fine. Otherwise get a hosting account and build the site there.

Based on this thread discussion, GoDaddy is better than HostGator.
