So I'm planning on getting off the Blogger tit for good and migrating to Wordpress. (Not as big a deal as you might think. More details on that later.)

Wordpress is amazingly powerful. I've got a test installation up and running to fiddle with before I "go live." There's quite a learning curve on some of this stuff. For example, a standard Blogger template is XHTML with special markup stored in one file. The default Wordpress template is a mix of XHTML and PHP with special markup stored in seventeen files.

Installing Wordpress is fast and is a task of "intermediate difficulty." The basic options are as simple to use as the Blogger Dashboard. But when it comes to advanced customization, only ubergeeks need apply.
