For all those who would like to start their own blog or transfer their blog from some free hosting (blogspot, wordpress.com), it is actually a great idea.

Why I don’t start with blogspot?
You may be able to add adsense, mybloglog, textlinkads and other javascript or embeded code into your blogspot, there is always limitation on what you can do. Unlike wordpress, you could add tones of ready made plugins and there is always the option to programe your own plugins.

With a lot of automization plugins like adsense deluxe (adding adsense into a post is never easier), akismet (come standard with wordpress to prevent SPAM), Google Sitemap Generator, and much more useful plugins depending on your needs.

Wordpress is a better management of your content, theme, user, post and plugins.
Wordpress actually quite a good range of functions but at the same time, it is easy to use. There is no need to use the extra function if you choose not to use them. Function such as post timestamp (to write post for future), category, trackback and categories is always useful to making a good post.

Also there is a good blogroll management, which you could organize link into categories (although some theme may not support it). Unlike blogspot, there is no need to edit the templates to add/delete a link.

Support
Wordpress is so widely used, therefore there is a huge cummunity contributing to the stability, security and growth of Wordpress. There is also a good support forum for wordpress.

You could try wordpress function by signing up at Wordpress.com, you would need one to activate your akismet too.

You could download the latest Wordpress.
