Happy Easter! I think I am on a jelly bean high, lol, as I sit here typing. We had a very fun morning, and I hope everyone else did as well!
I found a great site that has some pretty cool Blogger templates the wonderful designer, Kaushal Sheth, is sharing for free with anyone that wants to use one for their site. I am considering switching my blog's format, so I was pretty happy to find these templates.
But in looking through this site I came across his Wordpress templates, and I really like a couple of them, so much so that I am considering switching to Wordpress! It has just been so easy and comfortable here on Blogger that I have been reluctant to make the change even though many people have told me I should.
To switch to Wordpress means that I would need to find a good host for my blog. This is an area I am really unfamiliar with, so I guess I have some 'homework' to do. Luckily there is a list of web hosting sites on Kaushal's blog, and since he has researched them himself and can honestly recommend them, I'm going to check those sites first.
So, I have decisions to make, lol. My brain tells me to make the move, and heed the advice of so many. But another little voice tells me I am happy and comfy here on Blogger, so why mess with something that works for me?
Ack. Decisions. Any advice?

I'm used to blogger, but I hear wordpress has some nice templates. I'm on a chocolate high here. LOL
Happy Easter Tammy! People tell me they love wordpress because you can do so much more with customizing your site.
"shrug"...guess I'll have to think about this some more because I can't make up my mind.
Happy Easter Irene ^^,
Blogger is actually okey if you know how to tweak its template according to your 'taste.' Although wordpress is better in a lot of ways. Also, if you paln to monetize your blog, this definitely not the choice.
Now, before you are misled, there are 2 wordpress: .com and .org.
With the former, its free like blogger. However, you can't do anything much on it. You will just have to be contented with your chosen template.
Wordpress.org, on the other hand, is an open source blogging platform. Meaning, it is something you have to install in your server if you are self-hosted (self-hosting costs around $5 to $15 a month depending on your requirements.) This you can tweak to your heart's content and is popularly use by most ProBloggers.
I hope this helps. BTW, kindly check my blogger blog's and see how I tweaked the template: http://youngurbanprofessionals.blogspot.com
Cheers!
I use BlueHost with WP. Bluehost has excellent customer service, a big plus.
I love word press :-) Check out their website and search the plug ins....
I am on a huge jelly bean high too :-)
The great thing about Word press for me is that you can customize any part of your template.
