Blogger doesn't let you create static pages. I think a lot of people start with blogger because it is fairly easy to use, but is limited. Bloggers comment forms require you to log in to some kind of profile. Ultimately, I switched when I bought the Wordpress Thesis Theme through your site. I love having full control on my own ftp site.

Never heard back.... Anyway thanks for all of your helpful information! I would like 2 know if this is a wordpress blog. From what I've heard wordpress doen not allow adsense blogs. I would love a blog like yours but I do not want to put it on wordpress if I am not able to add adsense to it. Advise, Suggestions? Thanks a Bunch :) Hi Lisa,

Something else to point out to the budget bloggers is that Dreamhost has a FREE basic account with one-click WordPress installs! Not sure how they handle plug-in installs because I don't think there is full FTP access for this type of account... but it's free and easy to set up! http://www.dreamhostapps.com/ <abbr><em>Justin Bradshaw’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MacCog/~3/pw6kSLTlRHM/" rel="nofollow">GrandCentral, GoogleVoice and their new best friend, Ooma</a></abbr></em> I’m also a happy Thesis user and recent Blogger switchover (I just read your Thesis post too) and definitely recommend Thesis and WordPress.
