It's also worth noting that a great many of the popular web hosts have a way to automatically install wordpress through the click of a button, rather than work with the databases and such yourself.

I would love to be able to do that. It sounds like an easier solution than changing from Blogger to WordPress. Thanks for this information, Randy!

I work for Google on the Blogger Help boards as a certified Blog*Star...LOL...a Google term from expert user. There are two ways to post to Blogger outside of having an actual Blogger blog. 1) Use a custom domain: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=55373&query=domain&topic=&type=f 2) Use FTP to post and host your blog on your own site and use the great links at the bottom of this post for additional info: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=41438 Hope this helps explain!

I can access this site because the word "blog" is the name of the directory - not in the www.---.com address. Something to keep in mind if you want even more people to be able to peruse your sites and blogs: don't have it look like a blog site to an Internet Browser. Just my two cents. Love this site and it's info. Thanks. Something I found interesting is that many workplaces block their employees from going out to Blog sites (as well as eBay or eTrade, etc).
