I think you're going to love the freedom and flexibility in WordPress versus what you can/can't do with Blogger. I would offer two suggestions gleaned from my several years of working with and developing both WordPress and ExpressionEngine (<a href="http://www.pmachine.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pmachine.com</a>) themes and sites/blogs. Specifically for WordPress: 1) Don't rush out and download/install all the cool new plugins you find and hear about. Add plugins as you actually have a need for their functionality. We keep several local installs of WordPress where we can try new plugins and make sure they don't muck up WordPress. But we only install and use those we genuinely have a need for. 2) Having said that, run-don't-walk over to Akismet (<a href="http://akismet.com/" rel="nofollow">http://akismet.com/</a> - from the makers of WordPress) and get your Akismet key and get it installed and activated on your new WordPress blog. The Akismet spam comment plugin will save you from pulling your hair out with all the comment spam you'll start to receive. As of this morning, Akismet has snagged almost 19,000 comment spams over the last 251 days the Beach Walks site has been online. If you do the math, that's 75+ spam comments per day. But we didnt' get that much in the early days. We're now pushing 350-450+- spam comments PER DAY and Akismet is taking care of all of them for us automatically! Best of luck and welcome to WordPress Aloha and Congrats on the successful switch to WordPress!!
