Everything I've wanted to know about webcomics (but was too afraid to ask)
P-Frank:
I might go for ComicPress instead. It is much more professional than just using Blogger. Blogger is a fine thing for blogs, but I have only seen one good Blogger comic.
And regular updates are THE most important thing on a comic if you want to be successful (lots of readers, if that is how you define success). Artistically that may be bankrupt, but there are plenty of awful comics that update 7 days a week and they will always be more popular than a once a week deal. At the moment I update five days a week, three-four real pages and one-two one-panellers. Due to the style it would be very difficult to do it any more than that.
Also, I recently did one solicited guest comic (Octopus Pie) and one un-solicited (Anders Loves Maria). I did the other one because I know Rene is pretty lax on her guest comics and also that she needed them fast and I already had an idea for one. Un-solicited fan art is generally better as a rule though. Comics take too long anyway.

My only problem with Comicpress is I literally have no idea how to work code or things like that. And ComicGenesis... this is probably stupid, but I was hoping to get it done in the next week or so so I can post the content I have and get a Comicon Pass. :| Doing this by the skin of my teeth, I know, but I've been working on this concept for about a year and a half (ironically, the idea to do it as a webcomic didn't hit me until about a month ago.)

Heh, don't worry. I'm not launching until I've got enough material that I can update for a month or so before I run out. :-)
And I'm forgetting San Diego this year. I feel like slapping something together would be disrespectful to guys like Jeph who do this for a living, so I'm going to cut my teeth on it for a year or so first.
