I think you'll enjoy the customisation that's possible. Dinner, I agree with Jen about the WordPress themes. I think you’ll enjoy the customisation that’s possible.

If you do a Google search for Wordpress Themes, you'll find some specifically created for running ads. Of course you can still customize the way these templates work but at least the framework is where you want it. Dinner, I think you’ll be pleased with your WordPress installation.

I guess they can't offer too much but, what they do offer are kinda ugly and unappealing. I've tried customizing mine but, eventually gave up. I've seen some really good Blogger blogs though, so maybe it's just me lol. I've actually just installed a Wordpress blog last night but haven't got a chance to mess around with it. But, I've read reviews and from what I've heard they make it very simple to integrate other ad services into your blog and allow more and easier customization of your blog. Also, Wordpress seems to have some really neat plug-ins to help further customize the blog. That's all I can think of now...once I mess with Wordpress more I'll remember to do a little review ;) What I’ve noticed about Blogger that I don’t like are the default layout choices.

Sprague, I can empathise with you over the validation issue. It'd mean a big overhaul and dropping thrid party content if I was to get my own house in order! I'm glad my content holds something of interest to you. Jen, that's a good point about the 'recent posts' section being a little confusing. Just by looking at Marc's screenshot (above) there does appear to be quite a bit of competition for eye focus. ilker, that's okay, I can excuse you for thinking and not doing. If your blog was titled 'the doing blog' however, that'd be a different story. ;) Dinner, it’d be interesting to know what the major limitations of using Blogger as opposed to WordPress are.
