Not super customizable, but very nice all the same. Still deciding between using Blogger or Wordpress because my Wordpress blog is all a shambles right now. Soooo . . . . what do you think?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8433024707341212327-1345287911661875493?l=justjenean.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Winnienoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433024707341212327.post-66604115486203684172007-10-29T02:36:00.000-07:002007-10-29T02:38:05.195-07:00<span style="font-family: arial;"> I've used wordpress for quite some time for my blogging needs. I'm in the process of either doing some major revamping or switching over to blogspot. The only thing I don't like about blogspot is the lack of a dynamic website. I can't create other pages. So, that might be my deciding point right there.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8433024707341212327-6660411548620368417?l=justjenean.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Winnienoreply@blogger.com0
