Well, I think I'll be sticking with Blogspot after all.
I like Wordpress and it is certainly friendlier to start things with.
Also, I really do like the static pages which Wordpress has and Blogspot lacks. However, the fact is that Wordpress is more limited from the point of view of template design and I prefer the Blogspot widgets.
So, at least for now... I'm back on Blogspot.
I'll have to make up my mind before I start telling people about my Blog ;)
