Also, if you want to customize your login so that you don't have to show the wordpress logo check this out: http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/custom-wordpress-login-screen/. It's really simple and takes like 2 seconds to add that one extra detail to round out the site. Yep, exec php is definitely one of my common plugins for wordpress plus improved include page.

They surely still can't be charging that?

$1 per CSS change? Wow. How long can that last? They surely still can’t be charging that?

DotNetNuke and Umbraco are two other ones that I've been meaning to check out but haven't had the time. For non-techies, there are also the options of livejournal and typepad. I tried out typepad a while back but I believe they charged $1 each time you wanted to customize your CSS. Blogger.com was my first experience using one of the blog tools back in 2005. It was great at the time (especially for building a site for free for a friend of mine) because it allowed you to insert custom PHP but the publishing portion was such a pain as it would get stuck always at 19%. As far as my experience with blogger.com and wordpress (both hosted and standalone) and I have to say, wordpress standalone is a clear winner in my book. The customizations and all the plugins make it such a powerful tool that it's so simple for non-techies to throw up a quick blog site but it's amazing for geeks to manipulate and reuse as a CMS.
