Hmm, well this Blogger vs Wordpress chart is food for thought.

That chart is very misleading since it only compares the hosted versions. You can download the open source Wordpress package and host it on your own page. It's very easy to set up, you have total control and help via the forums is pretty good.

t edit To clarify, the downloadable package is way more customizable than the options via wordpress.com, but the chart doesn't include that.

Oh, see now that is very useful info, Jon, thanks. If I host it, how technical does the issue of security updates to WP become?

You get notified when there are updates and it's ridiculously easy to install them. It's usually, literally, just a couple of mouse-clicks and you're done.

Cool. I suspect I have found my choice.

One more vote for wordpress, Pete.

I had a pro help me to modify my template. (John Learn is super reasonable and responsive. If you check him out, please tell him bonny king-taylor sent you) But I now do all the content management and updates myself.

I did years worth of research to decide between blogspot, jumla, wordpress and various others. I'm pretty happy with my choice.

Sean, it is possible.

You need to do a restore with a previous version.
