Blogging Wanderlust

I like Blogger. It's easy to use. But my eye is roaming; I have my eye on WordPress. Based on a cursory glance at various blogging platforms, it seems that WordPress is more powerful and flexible than Blogger.

Lately I have become obsessed with web design. My immediate goal is to make a Project Blended website, and I am plowing through a 1000 page Dreamweaver book so that I can learn how to use this massive program.

And as I cruise the web for inspiration (The Daily Slurp, CSS Zen Garden, Best Web Gallery, Smashing Magazine), my mind has gotten to thinking about other websites. I would like to resurrect my very neglected www.soniaortega.net site, as well as design a photography website that is a better reflection of my personal style. Not a downloaded template, which is what I have now.

All this has given me a much greater appreciation for good web design. I'm hoping I can design something with a little flair and attitude, and that I don't end up with an ugly, unmitigated disaster.
