jbwordsmithHey friends,
I am wanting to change my public blog from Xanga to something else... I've decided that I just don't like Xanga. I'm looking for something cleaner and more professional looking. Any suggestions? What's better -- blogspot? Wordpress? Something else? Please drop a comment if you have any suggestions or input. (Also, if you are gifted in graphic design and enjoy it, I would love to have you design my layout once I get the new blog account. I'd love something with a brown/sage green/soothing earth tones theme. Kind of artsy. But I am not at all gifted in that area.)
Many thanks in advance!

Maybe it's just being in a no-where part of the world (nothing to the East between here and Europe but empty northern Canada and the Stormyyy Atlantic and nothing to the West between here and Asia but the Placid (Ha Ha) Pacific) but blogspot always seems slow to load, or I have to try more than once to bring pages up. I have no problem with LJ in those regards or a zillion other websites so I think their systemm may be overloaded. For me it acts like LJ did three or four years ago before they added all the servers.
I use WordPress on my web site but haven't used wordpress.com so I don't know how "user-friendly" their sysyem is to do customization. I know with it on my own site I have to edit php files to make many types of changes so I rarely fiddle with it. There are numerous pre-made templates that are available to use with WordPress.
