Blogsome.com v. WordPress.com looking for more customization?

The Weifang Radish 2 :: Blogsome v. WordPress.com :: July :: 2006. I looked at some Blogsome blogs and read some posts about Blogsome and it seems like a terrible alternative to WordPress.com. It is the worst of both words. It is worse than WordPress.com because it has terribly obvious advertising that you have to change your settings to turn off. WordPress.com also has advertising but in the two years that this website had it, I only saw it once. I had to pay $29 to turn it off. (I hate advertising too) It is also bad that you have to change things but they aren’t in a standard WordPress setup. So it adds unnecessary complexity to the process. We all wish we could change our settings more at WordPress.com but it looks like self-hosting is the next step.
