Well, I don't know-- other blogs LOOK more professional, but livejournal is much easier to build a following on. I don't recommend Blogger, because as a visitor I've found it harder to navigate for some reason. I have used Wordpress both as a reader and blogger-- I liked the stats page that came with it, but I never did figure out how to post pictures on it!
And then, with the professional look issue, I know there are ways to fix that, too. I've seen some very nice looking blogs that I don't even realize are lj until I notice my login toolbar thingy at the top.
I follow a lot of authors on lj who use it as their main professional blog quite happily. They usually also have a website, with a link that says "my blog" or whaatever that takes you here.
Now, cynsations is an author-blogger who blog simultaneously on lj and another server-- I don't know if it's a mirror blog or what, but I know she USES lj, becasuse she actually writes back if you post a comment or whatever.
