Alternatives to Blogger

[MortimerJazz]

Hi there,

Surfing around the net recently, I've come across a lot of good looking blogs, which has got me thinking.

My limited experience of blogs has pretty much come from blogger, but I don't really like the way that those kind of blogs look and I don't get a whole lot of flexibility with them. So I was just wondering whether somebody might be able to give me a slightly more professional alternative to Blogger.

Basically some kind of a blog/cms software that I can buy/download.

Thanks alot in advance

Wordpress?

You can even integrate it into your website (so it maintains the look of your site). I'm learning how to do this now…it seams to offer some good features.

WordPress is definitely the way to go.

The unbelievable level to which you can customize your blog on WP is a big plus for me. There is also a GREAT amount of support available in the support forums...when learning how to design my blog, I went there frequently and had responses within 5-10 minutes in most cases.

I'd def. go with WP. It's free, too.
