Blogspot and Wordpress.com have too many restrictions, and neither are good for SEO.

The fee is ONLY if you want to add and change a blog-wide CSS file. (I pay it, and it’s only $15 a year – a little bit more than a paperback book, so what the heck?)

If you don’t add a blog-wide CSS file, you can easily get around it by adding INLINE CSS here and there to your blog entries. Like, enter your blog entries in HTML with

I would recommend Wordpress over Blogspot any day of the week. (I’ve tried both.) I rewrote my entire Blogspot template. You could do that, if you want the ULTIMATE control, but you’ll have to dig down in Google’s convoluted help files to learn their XML.

After that you need to download the chosen theme via ftp and activate it in your blog.
