You can use HTML and CSS to customize your text, create tables, set background images and all sorts of fun stuff. I wanted to make this whole post blink using CSS, but I don't think that it works with blogger, probably because it would be REALLY annoying.
The article on Content Management Systems' use in libraries gave a good explanation of some of the limitations of HTML. The CMS provided consistency and flexibility to GSU's research guides. It made think about sites like this one. It's a form based system. It's customizable. Is it a CMS?

It seems like the blogger interface must be a CMS...I mean, it is managing our content and all. For instance underneath this comment box it says I can use some html tags, but I don't think I can add animated smiley faces such as you may remember from the heyday of Geocities. This is probably in everyone's best interest. But beyond aesthetics, this set-up makes it easy for users to navigate all these blogspots, since even though they have different background colors or whatever they all have the same basic structure, which I think is the point of the third article.
You guys are probably right that Blogger is also a CMS, i guess calling CMS a database is a oversimplification.
