When I get it finished in the next couple of days I'll shoot you a link! Funny you should ask that - just yesterday I was putting together a hosting table for different platforms.

While we're at it, will all you Wordpress lovers share the names of your favorite blog hosts?<br/><br/>BTW, I do have my own domain name. The problem is the post pages default to blogspot which doesn't support perl or php. That's another reason why I'm considering the jump. Thanks for the comments guys.

And do it now and don't look back!! I learned the hard way to find the right platform and get onto it as early as possible. You'll lose less readers in the transition that way (I think I recovered all of mine).<br/><br/>I LOVE Wordpress - it was TOTALLY worth the 2 days it took to make the full switch. Just to speak to Jeremy's point on the domain name is a good enough reason on it's own! :) Do it! And do it now and don’t look back!!

I got tired of all the limiting features of the canned blogging services. If you don't know how, maybe you should start learning php or perl (with cgi's). After you pick up a few tricks, it's really not all that hard. I really suggest getting your own domain name and creating a weblog from scratch (yourself).

I have Blogger blogs and Wordpress blogs, they each have their pro and cons. And when Blogger is acting goofy, there is no relief no matter where it is hosted. However, there are weaknesses in Wordpress too.

With that said, if I ever start another blog, it will most likely be a Wordpress hosted with an ISP of my choice.
