Hey guys,

I've been on blogger for a while but I'm not really sure whether I want to stick with it. Sometimes it seems like the templates they provide are a little too restrictive. Granted, I do fail pretty hard at formatting, and don't have much (read: any) background experience in designing websites, but I'm curious to hear what you guys recommend (if you do the blogging thing).

I was wondering if any of you guys have any advice on alternative blog services?

Please don't take this a some kind of self-serving call for attention, I'm just curious to see what you people are into, because with the folks I hang out with IRL have next to nothing to say about the matter.

Thanks in advance.

Bob.

    Wordpress is great. They have a free hosting solution, and if that's not enough you can download the Wordpress software and run on your own web host.

    Wordpress + Atahualpa if you're self-hosting. Atahualpa is easy to tweak. W3 Total Cache is a very nice caching plugin.

    Just make sure you read up on WP security and permalink setup if you go the self-hosting route.

    Awesome, thanks guys.

    I'd been think about wordpress as a possibility. Never heard about Atahualpa though- it looks promising enough. It looks easy enough to import data as well. This will give me plenty to fiddle around with.

    Cheers,

    Bob.
